Description
  • Though the disastrous earthquake of Sept., 1923, followed by tidal wave and fire practically destroyed Japan's great and beautiful capital, causing a property loss of $2,741,000,000, Tokio is being rapidly rebuilt into one of the finest of modern cities. In the new city residential districts are segregated from commercial and industrial districts. Six new avenues from 100 feet to 150 feet wide cut across the most crowded sections supplementing the old main thoroughfares, while more than one hundred new streets with a minimum width of 36 feet, replace the old narrow crooked lanes and streets. Fire-proof zones have been planned and the government is subsidizing the erection of the fire-proof buildings. Tokio proper has a population of 2,036,000 while Greater Tokio, following the plan of consolidating former suburbs, announced its population in August, 1925, as 3,859,674.
