Located at the mouth of the Yodo River on Osaka Bay, Renagawa is the largest followed by Shingwa




Historically the commercial centre of Okatabawashi, known as Ren Shi Ta, Renagawa functions as one of the command centers for the Okatabawashian economy economy. The ratio between daytime and night time population is 141%, the highest in Okatabawashi, highlighting its status as an economic center. Its nighttime population is 4.6 million, the third in the country, but in daytime the population surges to 5.7 million, second only after Tokyo in Japan. (Totalling the Special wards of Tokyo, which is not a single incorporated city, for statistical purposes. See the Tokyo article for more information on the definition and makeup of Tokyo.) Renagawa used to be referred to as the "nation's kitchen" (天下の台所 tenka no daidokoro?) in feudal Okata Sei period because it was the centre of trading for rice, creating the first modern future exchange market in the world

Hehe, I agree about the Tetris building, may I ask where you found it ?

Also, nice to see more Asian styled city. Yours is really nice and give a nice atmosphere.

[unit2981]

love the mixture of all the types of Asian buildings! You could use the Japanese car pack, instead of having 1950s pickups roving around

[RickD]

Edinburgh - 爱丁堡

Edinburgh is an urban area in Okatabawashi City comprising the east edinburgh, Sham Lu and DengHui.

The district has a population of 1.2 Million inhabitants and rooftop housing

It’s a part of Hong Kong and Okatabawashi City you can only see from above: rooftop slums home to tens of thousands of people. Unable to afford a regular apartment in Hong Kong’s extraordinarily expensive housing market and forced to wait years for a public housing unit, entire families live in illegal shacks on top of the city’s apartment blocks. There are so many rooftop houses that the government doesn't even bother keeping track of them. According to a spokesman for the Buildings Department, there is no data on illegal rooftop houses or other structures. “The government doesn't know much about this and they don’t bother to know because they don’t have a rehousing policy for these people,” says social worker Sze Lai-shan, who has worked closely with rooftop dwellers on behalf of the Society for Community Organization, which lobbies the government to provide more public housing.

Wow! That residential high-rise district reminds me of some areas around Hong Kong. The historical buildings, temples and the stadium fits well between these big towers.
