This was when Tokyo was lawless and the capital at the time was still Kyoto. After that the Tokugawa warlord made Edo castle the de facto capital while the royal capital remained in Kyoto and the emperors power dwindled. By 1721 it was the largest city in the world with 1,000,000 people.

    The cistern under Constantinople is larger, and that was built in the 14th century. Rather than being a storm drain, it is a water storage cistern. And the pillars that hold up the city above, are huge.

    What i like more about Japan is that they are humble, if it would have been done by any other Country they would be on air 😂

    We need this here in Philippines, I've experienced to swim in open canals due to high floods. Flood is very common in our area specially in rainy season, due to this we can't see where the canal is.

    Exactly what came to mind when I saw this. I thought the level design was just the game developer being artistic and excessive in scope. How I didn't consider Japanese ingenuity.

    Typhoon Hagibis (2019) trivia: this Underground Discharge Channel can impound 670K M3. Upstream of this water tank, there is another special reservoir to prevent massive flood; the Watarase Reservoir is capable to hold up to 170M M3. Again, a new flood preventive dam has been finished in the mountains just before the typhoon Hagibis passed over Japan. The new dam can impound approx. 120M M3. From Oct. 12 to 13, those facilities were almost full of the storm sewage, over 90 % of each full capacity, leading to just 1 dead in Tokyo area (as of Oct.21). Anyway, Japan's been spending huge money and time on flood control so far.

    1:50, I’ve been doing some research, and I’m pretty sure NYC is in the ideal location for a major city. There is room to grow but not enough for the city to sprawl endlessly. It is situated on one of the worlds largest deep water harbors. And it has near surface bedrock to allow skyscrapers and other large constructions to be built cheaper. On top of that it is in a very stable climactic region with no fault lines or tornado areas
