Future Estimated Population in Chuo-ku (2)

[CAM] April 7, 2018 12:00

 In the last post on "Population Estimation of Chuo-ku", we correct some errors and supplement them.


>In "Chuo-ku Monoshiri Encyclopedia", on page 87, "Population Change in Chuo-ku" ... In 1998, the population increased for the first time in 45 years, "297 people" compared to the previous year, and in April 2006 He stated that he had achieved 100,000 for the first time in 31 years since 1 years since 1975 years.


 Then, in the previous article, "In the Tsukuda area where I live, we are blessed with a space of 'green and water', such as Tsukuda Park, Ishikawajima Park, and Sumida River Terrace, so the ' merits of accumulation' due to population increase (local vitality and improvement of living convenience) will further increase, and we will eliminate the demerit of overcrowding population. "

In connection with this, Mr. Takuro Morinaga pointed out that "Tokyo is now" Edo "" in terms of population growth in central Tokyo ". As is well known, Chuo-ku (former Nihonbashi-ku / Kyobashi-ku) is the first Edo.

Morinaga) Edo is very small in the area, and everyone lived in a place smaller than the inside of the current Yamanote Line. Well, it was a million city, but there was Samurai residence around the present Imperial Palace, where 60% of Edo's samurai lived in 500,000 people, but the remaining 20% is temples and shrines. The monks lived, and 500,000 townspeople lived in the remaining 20% of the land. It's just a tenement house.

Morinaga) So this tenement house is very narrow. However, there were many fires, but live widely with as little things as possible. So what the common people of Edo were doing is, for example, going to listen to rakugo. You can enjoy Kabuki or sumo wrestling.

Morinaga) It's just like (now). I'm going to enjoy the live show. It's a lifestyle.

Morinaga) (The former tenement house was spread sideways, but now it's like a tower apartment) just getting higher, and what you're doing is exactly the same.
