　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.

In "Chuo-ku Monoshiri Encyclopedia", on page 87, the population of Chuo-ku increased to 172,183, which peaked in January 1953, and in April 1997, the lowest in the previous year to 71,800, compared to 71,800, and 198,000.

　
　According to the Nihon Keizai Shimbun on March 31, 2018, the Tokyo Metropolitan Institute of Population and Social Security (Tokyo Metropolitan Institute of Population and Social Security, 30% more than 2015), according to the headline, "The Tokyo Metropolitan Institute of Population and Social Security (Tokyo Metropolitan Institute of Population and Social Security, 30% more than 2045), according to the 30-year projections. (Chiyoda, Chuo, Port) increased by more than 30% compared to 2015. On the other hand, local governments with a double-digit decline rate in the Tama area are conspicuous. The population gap between local governments is likely to spread even more in Tokyo.
　The three wards of central Tokyo will have about 443,000 people in 2015, an increase of about 595,000 people in 1945. "Condominium construction has been carried out one after another, and the population has increased more than expected. I think this trend will continue in the future. The three wards accounted for the top three in the rate of increase by municipality nationwide.
　Chuo-ku has the largest increase in the three wards of central Tokyo with 34.9%. According to the previous estimate (2013), the population in 40 years increased by 14.4% compared to 10 years, and the pace of increase is accelerating. "The estimated population in Chuo-ku in 2045 is 190,000.

　　
　If we proceed according to this estimate, the peak population in January 1953 exceeded 172,000 in 2045.

　
　You may be worried about the disadvantages of overcrowding population, but in the Tsukuda area where I live, we are blessed with "green and water" spaces such as Tsukuda Park, Ishikawajima Park, Sumida River Terrace, etc. The environment will eliminate the disadvantages and increase the merits of accumulation due to population growth (improvement of regional vitality and convenience of living) will further increase.
