What is the largest international metropolis in the world?

New york is the largest city in the United States and the fifth largest city in the world by population. It is located on the northeast coast of the United States and the southeast corner of new york. New york is one of the most famous cities in the world, the capital of international economy, finance, art and media, and the headquarters of the United Nations. New york also has many world-class museums, galleries and performing arts competition venues, and is one of the cultural and entertainment centers in the western hemisphere. With a population of more than 8 million (living on 309 square miles) and a large number of immigrants from more than 80 countries, this city is often affectionately called "the Big Apple". In addition to these overseas immigrants, this city is also home to many foreign Americans who want to experience a more international lifestyle than other parts of the United States. New york, located in the center of Greater new york, with a population of 22 million, is one of the largest urban agglomerations in the world. There are five districts in this city: Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, Bronx and Staten Island. New york's GDP in 2003 is expected to reach US$ 488.8 billion, ranking first among all cities in the United States, and sixth if compared with other states in the United States. If that is a country's GDP, it ranks 16 in the world, surpassing Belgium ($433 billion). Although it accounts for 10% of American GDP, it only accounts for about 4.5% in the past decade, and it has only fluctuated recently. New york, London and Tokyo are called the three major international cities in the world. Since the Japanese royal family moved from Kyoto to Edo in 1868 and changed its name to Tokyo, Tokyo has been the capital of Japan and the center of Japan's politics, economy, culture and transportation. Tokyo covers a total area of 2 162 square kilometers, including 23 special zones, 26 cities, 5 towns and 8 villages, and forms a "capital circle" with the surrounding counties of Chiba, Kanagawa and Saitama. At present, the population of Tokyo is about 6.5438+0255 million (equivalent to 654.38+0/654.38+00 in Japan), and the total population of the entire Tokyo metropolitan area (including surrounding cities such as Yokohama) is as high as 33.75 million, making it the largest metropolitan area in the world. Every day, millions of people turn themselves in and commute to work in the periphery of Tokyo, which makes the downtown of Tokyo crowded during the day. Many office workers gather in areas with office buildings such as Shinjuku, Marunouchi and Japan Bridge. In the evening, the crowd moved to areas with many places of leisure and entertainment, such as Ginza, Shibuya, Roppongi and Taichang, and started nightlife. As we all know, Tokyo, an international metropolis, is the center of financial and trade exchanges in Asia. It has recently become the birthplace of Asian pop culture. In the eyes of many young Asians, Tokyo is a city full of vitality and a sense of the times. It is always at the forefront of fashion. Pop music, idol TV series, Walkman, MD, mobile phones, cosmetics, video games, platform shoes and avant-garde makeup all started here. Tokyo Bay is connected with the Pacific Ocean. To the west of Tokyo is Tama, a natural treasure house with dense forest peaks and valleys. Take the Shinkansen train from Tokyo and cross the Kanto Plain in the southwest, the largest plain in Japan, and you will soon reach Mount Fuji. When you come to Japan, it is not difficult to realize your dream of enjoying mountains, canyons, forests, waterfalls and beaches while feeling the charm of shopping and entertainment in metropolis. [Editor] The definition of "Tokyo" is usually used to address a place name rather than an administrative region, and its scope does not necessarily include Tokyo or Tokyo. There are several different definitions to define the scope of the name Tokyo. Tokyo Circle-traditionally refers to Tokyo plus neighboring saitama, Kanagawa Prefecture and Chiba Prefecture. The capital circle-Ibaraki Prefecture, Gunma Prefecture, Tochigi Prefecture and Yamanashi Prefecture joined the above-mentioned administrative regions (but Yamanashi Prefecture was excluded from the "kanto region" in the division of "eight regions" in Japan). Tokyo-this is the closest definition to the actual administrative scope of Tokyo, which is equivalent to Tokyo after omitting the island area, that is, the area included in Tokyo and Tokyo in the past. Tokyo Special Zone, commonly known as Tokyo District 23, is equivalent to the 35th District under the jurisdiction of Tokyo in the past (from 1889 to 1943), and it is also a narrow sense of "Tokyo downtown". Old Tokyo District 15—— including all the areas of Chiyoda, Central District, Port Area, bunkyo-ku, Taitung, Shinjuku, Mo Tian and jiangdong district in the above-mentioned Tokyo District 23. 1889 was the jurisdiction of Tokyo when it was first built. [Editor] Administrative Regions The first-level administrative regions of Japan are divided into prefectures, one of which refers to Tokyo. 1943, the original two first-level administrative regions, Tokyo and Tokyo, were unified into Tokyo, but after the war (1947), the Tokyo system was abolished because of the promulgation of the Local Autonomy Law. Therefore, the current Tokyo is actually a local government that simply integrates the SAR with other cities, towns and villages, but it still uses the original title of Tokyo. The whole of Tokyo consists of three main geographical divisions, namely, 23 special districts, which are customarily called Tokyo District 23, and the suburbs west of District 23 are called Mishima District, as well as some islands in the Pacific Ocean, which are administratively under the jurisdiction of Tokyo. The eastern part of the 23rd District of Tokyo is covered with a vast lowland of estuary plain formed by rivers such as Lany, Arakawa and Edogawa, which is often called "Xiamachi". On the west side of Hekou Plain, a part of the eastern end of Musashino Platform was eroded to form a tongue-shaped platform, commonly known as "Hand of the Mountain". Today, the famous JR Yamanote Line Railway in downtown Tokyo was originally designed to connect these small stations. Banded lowlands along the mouth of Tamagawa River in the south. Up to now, land reclamation projects are still being carried out along the coast of Tokyo Bay, and new land reclaimed from the sea is also included in the scope of Area 23, such as the platform at Lany Point (platform; ぉだぃば) is a new entertainment area built on the new land of Haipu. The Sandomo area is centered on the lowlands along the Tamagawa River, including Musashino Terrace in the north and Tama Hill in the south. This area was under the jurisdiction of Tama Prefecture in Musashi Prefecture in the 7th century, and was divided into four counties in Meiji era. Later, after Totama Prefecture was merged into Tokyo and became a part of Nakano Prefecture and Suginami Prefecture, the present Totama Prefecture, Namtama Prefecture and nishitama-gun were formed. There are many large satellite cities of Tokyo in Tama area, such as Musashino City, Lichuan City, Bagong City and the famous Tama New City (Tama ニュータンン, the new city planning in Tama City). The western part of the Samodo region (nishitama-gun) has included a part of the Kanto Mountains. These islands include Izu Islands and Ogasawara Islands. The administrative division of this area has a special place, that is, they are different from the independent villages and towns under the administrative regions such as prefectures and counties. There is no county-level administrative unit between this area and Tokyo, and all the islands in the island area of Tokyo exist in the form of autonomous villages and towns directly under the metropolitan government. The southernmost island of Okinawa in Japan (Okinawa Island; ぉきのとりしま) and the easternmost Nanniao Island (みなみとりしま) are under the jurisdiction of Ogasawara Village in Tokyo. At present, Japanese, China people and other countries are still controversial about the ownership of the waters near Okinawa. Palace, Shuangqiao [Editor] History Tokyo is a vibrant city, not only densely populated, but also a huge distribution center for materials and information. Like many international metropolises, it is changing with each passing day. The development of the city has expanded from the capital to the suburbs, and the construction of coastal areas, rivers, civilian residential areas, elderly residential areas and satellite cities has continuously improved the development of the city. Moreover, Tokyo has preserved many historical sites and some traditional ceremonies and activities, and the coexistence of modernity and tradition has become a major feature of this city. [Editor]/Kloc-The second half of the 5th century: the completion of Edo City. It is said that the construction of Edo City was completed by the Lord of Musashigawa Yue (present-day Saitama) and ordered by the Shizukawa shogunate in Kyoto. When the Dojo was located, it took a fancy to this humid Kanto Plain, which is surrounded by mountains and seas, so it built Edo City (meaning "Edo" or "Estuary", which originated in the corner where Lany flows into Tokyo Bay, and was called "Edo Bay" at that time) in today's Imperial House. After that, history entered the Warring States period, and military commanders from all over the country fought for years. [Editor] 65438+Early 7th century: Edo, Tokugawa era and Japan began. Tokugawa Ieyasu won the key victory in Kwanzaa Festival in World War I, which led to the beginning of the Edo Tokugawa era based on Edo City, and Edo became a political city. After that, the population of Edo became more and more, and gradually developed into the central city at that time. In the process of development, Edo City gradually formed two different regional types: one is a civilian area, also known as "Xiamachi", where many businessmen, vendors and craftsmen gather, who are mainly engaged in waterway transportation in Lany, material distribution in Edo Port and various commercial activities; Another area is the upper-class community called "Hand of the Mountain", including Daming residential area and Qiben residential area, which is the political center of Edo City with tree-lined and beautiful environment. The political and economic development of Edo City has also brought cultural prosperity. The formation of civilian culture also marks that the cultural development of Edo City has entered its heyday. Even today, we can still feel the existence of civilian culture in the alleys and some traditional ceremonies in Tokyo. [Editor]/Kloc-the second half of the 9th century: Meiji Restoration With the "return of the big government" and the disintegration of the shogunate system after Edo opened the city without bloodshed at the end of Chen Wu War, Japanese society entered the Meiji Restoration period and began to actively absorb and introduce western technology and culture to build its own modern nation-state. During this period, the royal family moved from Kyoto to Edo and changed its name to Tokyo, becoming the new capital of Japan. Edo City was renamed Tokyo City, Miyagi City and Imperial Residence, and eventually became the national symbol-the residence of the Emperor; The newly established parliament also began to operate in Tokyo. Under the Meiji government's modernization policy, cities (especially buildings) began to appear after westernization; 1872, the first Japanese railway was built between Tokyo and Yokohama, which became a new pioneering work in transportation. Since then, Tokyo has gradually moved towards modernization and international urbanization. [Editor] After the 20th century, the Great Kanto Earthquake occurred in 1923. At the end of World War II, the heart of Tokyo was destroyed twice, but it was quickly rebuilt. 1960, the city entered a period of rapid development. 1964, Tokyo hosted the Olympic Games, which was the first time for an Asian city. In order to welcome the coming of the Olympic Games, many other major public buildings (such as the expressway in the capital circle) have been completed in addition to the facilities needed for the Olympic Games, and the whole city has entered a stage of great construction. Since then, Tokyo has officially become one of the international representative cities. After entering the1990s, with the collapse of the bubble economy, Japan's economy fell into a long-term depression. However, the large-scale development of the Linhai Sub-capital Center, the further development of the Shinjuku Sub-capital Center with the transfer of the metropolitan area, the continuous preparation of the transportation system, and the implementation of a number of urban renewal and large-scale complex area reconstruction plans have made Tokyo's development pace move forward. [Editor] Traffic [Editor] The lifeline of Tokyo, JR Yamanote Line Tokyo's railway route is mainly JR line, JR Yamanote Line runs around the city center, and JR Central Line and General Military Line cross the city center. There are many underground railway lines on the inside of JR Yamanote Line, and various private railway lines are distributed radially on the outside. [Editor] JR (Japan Railway) The JR route in Tokyo is under the jurisdiction of JR East Japan except the Tokaido Shinkansen. The trams on the JR line are all distinguished by colors, and the following are the representative colors of the main lines of JR: Yamanote Line = Yellow-green East Sea Line = Orange Jingbin Northeast Line = Sky Blue Central Line = Orange Central General Army Slow Line (the central line and the general army line run through each other) = Yellow General Army Express Line = Upper Milky White and Lower Dark Blue Beijing Line = Upper Red and Lower Sky Blue Shinkansen Part: In addition, there are many trains passing through these two Shinkansen to other Shinkansen. In addition to Tokyo Station, Shinkansen also has two stations in the north and south of Tokyo Station, Ueno and Shinagawa, respectively, to share the travel volume of Tokyo Station and facilitate passengers to ride.
