Singapore is 699km² (may have expanded since I left) with a population of almost 6m not including migrants. Tokyo is 619km² with a population of almost 10m [0]. And that's not accounting yet for the surrounding population that commutes into Tokyo. During the last census in 2020, Tokyo's daytime population surges to 16m. [1] The difference between these two cities is that a large portion of Japanese real estate are micro 1~2 bedroom apartments (below 20m²) built specifically for singles and young adults. The SG govt has for years claimed that it doesn't have enough space, in reality they're just want to encourage multi-generational living. 0: https://ieagent.jp/blog/eria/tokyo23population-601355#:~:text=「東京都総務局統計部」によると、2023,と非常に多いです%E3%80%82 https://ieagent.jp/blog/eria/tokyo23population-601355#:~:tex... 1: https://www.nikkei.com/article/DGKKZO62846080T20C22A7EA4000/#:~:text=総務省は22日,53万人増えた%E3%80%82 https://www.nikkei.com/article/DGKKZO62846080T20C22A7EA4000/...
