Note that the entirety of the Fukutoshin Line was within the 23 wards.
- jbm 10y agoWakoshi is in Saitama.
- jessriedel 10y agoJust to clarify for folks who don't know Tokyo: Wakoshi is the first stop on the new Fukutoshin line, and it is located in Saitama, which is not in the 23 wards composing Central Tokyo. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokyo_Metro_Fukutoshin_Line https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokyo_Metro_Fukutoshin_Line However, it's only a single stop on the line; the other 15 stops are in Central Tokyo.
- jessriedel 10y agoThank you for providing Central Tokyo's density; it is certainly the best comparison to Manhattan in Japan. However, you are incorrect about Manhattan's density, which is 27,812.2/km² https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manhattan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manhattan and therefore still significantly larger than Central Tokyo's 15,146/km². The 10,194/km² figure you quote is for all of New York City (all 5 boroughs) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City which is to be compared with 6,225/km² for Tokyo Metropolis (i.e., the city proper, not the greater metro area, which is 2,662/km²). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokyo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokyo
