Urbanism
Living in densely populated metropolitan areas often leads to increased social interaction, cultural diversity, and access to various amenities and opportunities. However, it can also result in higher congestion, noise pollution, and a faster pace of life compared to less crowded regions. Overall, the social emphasis in metropolitan areas tends to revolve around networking, career advancement, and a vibrant social scene.
A metropolitan area typically consists of a large city and its surrounding suburbs and cities that are economically and socially linked. It includes a core city with a high population density and infrastructure, as well as outlying areas that are interconnected through commuting patterns, economic activities, and social networks. Metropolitan areas often encompass a range of communities with varying levels of urban development.
A city is typically classified as an urban area that is larger and more densely populated than a town or village. Cities are characterized by a concentration of economic, cultural, and social activities, and often serve as hubs for transportation, business, and government services.
Urban areas tend to be more densely populated than rural areas due to factors such as better job opportunities, access to services and amenities, higher standard of living, and social connections. Urban areas also offer a wider range of entertainment and cultural activities, making them more attractive to people seeking a dynamic lifestyle.

Areas made up of cities and their suburbs are typically referred to as metropolitan areas or metro areas. These regions usually encompass the core city and its surrounding suburbs, forming a cohesive economic and social unit. Metropolitan areas are defined by high levels of economic integration, commuting patterns, and shared resources.
Japan has a very densely populated economy. But China has a higher population. Their population is 1.3 billion I think.
