&quot;People in Tokyo sleep, on average, 5 hours and half at home, (and they add to that their sleep during the commuting time in a train.)&quot;<p>That does not sound healthy at all. How does this work?

The enthusiasm for superblocks is interesting. That&#x27;s been a disaster in US city planning. It&#x27;s associated with housing projects. Stuyvesant Town in Manhattan, which is a huge, expensive apartment complex, gets higher rents for apartments which face the &quot;outside&quot; streets than for those which face the interior open space.

That Sumida River drawing is a nice touch. When I used to work in Tokyo I&#x27;d often go to the river at lunch, it&#x27;s very relaxing and I love being near water.

I saw Layla (the director of UDMH) give an excellent presentation at PechaKucha Tokyo last month.<p>I look forward to flicking through this document.
