Summary

Tokyo, Japan, is currently the largest city in the world, with a total metropolitan population of over 37 million people. However, it wasn’t always the case. In fact, unlike many great cities of the world, Tokyo’s roots do not go back to ancient times. Its importance as a city is relatively recent, historically speaking. During the war, it was almost completely destroyed yet has come back to be a major center of technology, culture, and finance. Learn more about Tokyo and how it became the most populous city in the world on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
