The article explores how the layout of a city like Tokyo affects the way people get around. As cities grow and change, the way people travel also changes. In Tokyo, the city's shape and design have influenced how people move around, leading to different transportation options over time. By looking at data on things like population, economy, and land use, the researchers found that as Tokyo evolved, so did the ways people traveled within the city. This study shows how urban development and transportation are closely linked, and how changes in one can impact the other.
