How has Tokyo changed? Compare now to 100 - 150 years ago

# data[].attributes.body
Tokyo has always been a large city and hasn't really changed as much form 100 years ago. It has such expanded in size out and up. The buildings have got taller and there are many lights that glow through out the night.

Problem
- As Tokyo expands as a city the more people the more breathing the more rubbish and overcrowding. Tokyo has a major problem with air pollution, and has been getting worse since the 1960's as the population grows. Tokyo's air pollution has hit rock bottom and is greater than the normal standard of air pollution and is miles above being at normal air levels.
Solution
- My solution would be to expand Tokyo even more or move all the manufacturers and factories  to more rural areas. Why? Because the air won't be filling with waste and smoke as these factories run all day. Moving them to a more rural area would settle the air pollution a little. Also having a less populated city. The more people the more resources they need the more space they use the more rubbish they make.

Although Tokyo is made up of mostly the Japanese there is a small population Koreans, Chinese, Brazilians, Americans, Peruvians, Filipinos and British also living in Tokyo. Koreans and Chinese make up a large amount of the migrant population. This can be due to the history Japan had with China and Korea. The Japanese had migrated to Korea for 35 years. With the migration also comes the migrant workers who work in the country they have just migrated to. Due to the number of foreign workers there have been major problems between Japan and China.
