November 18th is "Civil Engineering Day". The origin is that if you write in the order of "118", it will be "civil engineering".
On that day, I went to the "Civil Engineering Four People Exhibition" held at FM Exhibition Salon Ginza (6-4-7 Ginza). Yoshikazu Nishiyama, Takuya Omura, Hiroki Tokugawa, and Kazuya Iimuro are exhibiting photographs on the theme of civil engineering structures taken from their respective perspectives.
Mr. Omura's work was based on the theme of "Tokyo Construction Dance", and the landscape under construction of civil engineering structures, including heavy equipment and people. According to the story, it was not taken into the construction site and photographed, but from a place where the general public can see it. The scenery under construction that can only be seen "now" was very valuable, and it was a group of works with a very nice way of capturing light. It seems that he also devised the selection of paper to print.
I'm glad that there is a place where you can enjoy the infrastructure that supports our lives and industry as a work of art like this time.

Based on the 2015 national census population basic count (Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications Statistics Bureau), we made a ranking of population density by ward, municipalities.

Government-designated cities have been subdivided by ward. For example, Sendai City is divided into Aoba Ward, Miyagino Ward, Wakabayashi Ward, Taihaku Ward, and Izumi Ward. In this way, there are 1,896 municipalities nationwide.
As a result, all wards are lined up from 1st to 31st.
Warabi City, Saitama Prefecture (32nd place) is the highest among municipalities other than government-designated cities.
My Chuo-ku was ranked 36th.

　
1 Toshima-ku, Tokyo 22,380 people/km2
2 Nakano-ku, Tokyo 21,053 people/km2
3 Arakawa-ku, Tokyo 20,892 people/km2
4 19,654 people/km2 in Joto-ku, Osaka City
5 19,592 people/km2, Taito-ku, Tokyo
6 19,462 people/km2 in Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo
7 18,925 people/km2, Meguro-ku, Tokyo
8 Sumida-ku, Tokyo 18,611 people/km2

32 Warabi City, Saitama Prefecture 14,141 people/km2
(Omitted)
36 Chuo-ku, Tokyo 13,828 people/km2
　

The population of Chuo-ku according to the census at this time was 141,183, but it has continued to increase since then, and the population as of October 1, 2018 according to the Basic Resident Register of Chuo-ku increased by 20,000 to 161,456 It has become. Since the tendency to return to the city center is also seen in other wards, what will the result of the next census that will take place two years later?
