„Wird Japan so zusammenbrechen …?“ Die wahre Realität der „Infrastrukturkrise“ besteht darin, dass es einfach nicht genug Geld oder Arbeitskräfte gibt, um alle in den Boomjahren gebauten Straßen, Eisenbahnen und anderen öffentlichen Projekte instand zu halten

The concentration of people is exacerbating this. The population is falling but the number of people living in and around tokyo continues to climb. This creates a vicious cycle everywhere else where the existing population cannot support the infrastructure causing it to crumble which pushes more people to move to Tokyo which means even fewer people to support the infrastructure and the cycle repeats ad infinitum. Tokyo remains extremely modern and the rest of the country suffers and the cramped, expensive conditions inside Tokyo put even more downward pressure on the birth rate.
It should be treated as an opportunity to demolish and reset fundamentally because:
* Demographic decline (see enormous spike in population must come down)
* Pull- Push from agglomeration of major mega-conurbations (100m or so from East-West across Osaka-Greater-Tokyo-Area)
* Ties with modern services and economies and taxation being more efficient in higher density cities
* Should be reorientated around sustainability reset in tandem to all the above.
No peculiar to Japan alone, similar trends globally variable on conditions Eg size of nation etc.
Of course you could implement work from home and get people out of Tokyo but then Tanaka bucho couldn’t scream at you
