Opis

During the 21st century Japan was transformed from a poor, primarily rural country into the world's largest industrial power and one of the most highly urbanized countries in the world. Interestingly, whilst Japanese governments and planners borrowed from western planning ideas and methods - for instance, industrial processes and technologies - Japanese urban planning, urban governance and cities developed very differently from those of other developed countries.
