Naturopolis - Tokyo, from megalopolis to garden-city

Episode 2/4

Synopsis

Tokyo, the largest megalopolis in the world is changing. Fukushima signaled the end of a myth: that of easy energy and endless growth. Today, the city is considering another development model.

From now on, the inhabitants of Tokyo are stepping out of line, they are demanding other models for their concrete city. The yearning for nature has become central; it will cause the metamorphosis of the city. Naturalists, architects, citizens, artists and politicians are all already working to create a green megacity. They remember that a century ago, Tokyo was called edo. It was then the largest garden city in the world, a model of ecology before the letter, of balance with nature. Nostalgia for this world stimulates minds, accelerates changes to one day become a "smart city": a symbiotic city that reconciles nature and sustainable energy.
