- skywal_l 2y agoIt's probably because Paris, officially, is the very small hypercenter of the Parisian metropolitan area. Whereas Tokyo is the actual total metropolis. Just look up the population of both. Paris is 2 millions whereas Tokyo is 14 millions. If you were to consider the whole Paris metropolitan area then the population is 11 millions.

- thrance 2y agoTo be fair, the average size of a flat in Paris is shocking to Frenchmen living outside the city. Same thing with New York I guess. I had a cousin move from Paris to Manhattan, and it didn't really feel like an upgrade.
