The GPD of Tokyo 1999 in Japan is $752.5 billion higher than that of Shanghai. How big is the gap now?

With the development of the times and social progress, the country's urbanization process is gradually accelerating. In the past, farmland, woodland and mud tile houses have been replaced by high-rise buildings. In the past few decades, such earth-shaking changes have taken place, and I believe that few countries in the world can do it. China is one of them. Compared with Tokyo 2 1 years ago, Shanghai is no match at all. I don't know after 2 1 Now follow in Bian Xiao's footsteps to explore the mystery.

When it comes to Shanghai, I believe all the pictures that come to mind are motorcycle buildings and nightlife intoxicated with alcohol. There is nothing wrong. Now Shanghai has developed into an international metropolis with rich economic resources, and is called "the magic capital" by the world. Every year, a large number of foreigners come to China, and many people choose to settle in Shanghai. It is conceivable that the attraction of Shanghai now.

But have you ever imagined Shanghai 2 1 years ago? At that time, Shanghai's economic level was less than one tenth of what it is now. Although it was relatively ahead for a while, it fell in the ranking and is now surpassed by Tokyo.

The development of Tokyo is still tortuous. After several challenges, the Japanese government also actively invested in key construction projects in Tokyo. After the First World War, Japan, as a victorious country, received a large amount of reparations from the defeated country in the First World War. At this time, the Japanese government had a large amount of funds, so the Japanese government flexibly operated funds and purchased a large number of building materials around the world, which promoted the urbanization process of Tokyo, Japan. In this way, trams across the railway, integrating sightseeing and transportation, became popular in Japan. Developed transportation and highly urbanized metropolis immediately attracted many immigrants from all over the world to move to Japan, but the good times did not last long. A big earthquake leveled Tokyo. Humans have no other way to stop natural disasters. The Japanese government can only start all over again, increase capital investment and rebuild Tokyo. A brand-new Tokyo was born soon after the construction workers worked overtime.

However, during the Second World War, Tokyo was bombed by shells from other countries, causing heavy casualties, and the original brand-new metropolis was razed to the ground again. As the 1964 Olympic Games was held in Tokyo, the Japanese government invested a lot of money in infrastructure construction to help the country win more resources and development opportunities, and soon a brand-new international metropolis was born. Driven by the Tokyo Olympic Games, a large number of social resources have been gradually transferred to Japan, and Japan's economy has gradually developed. 1968, Japan's gross national product was only behind that of the United States, so you can imagine how fast Japan developed.

In the following decades, Japan also fully implemented urbanization in various regions, and its economic level was also developing rapidly. 20 1 1, once surpassed the United States to become the world's largest economy. Compared with Japan, the development of Shanghai is not inferior. Although there are still some gaps compared with Japan, compared with Shanghai 2 1 years ago, Shanghai's GDP has increased nearly tenfold now. Welcome everyone to leave a comment.
