Edo, the ancient green city of Japan | SLICE

Built in the 16th century, Edo was the first of the ecological city.
It was during this Edo period that the Japanese sensitivity to nature was born, and it gave
rise to the first urban culture founded on nature. In addition to large gardens, they created
sacred places in the city to observe animals and plants. Has the ancient city been an
inspiration for the future one?

[@badwolf7367]

Load of BS. The Japanese "sensitivity" deforested hundreds of acres of forests and not just those in Kanto region, but also as far away as Taiwan.

Can you tell me more? I’m unaware of the history.

[@DoctorFurioso]

It is a BS video in every way, shape, and form. On the other hand, Edo Japan had decent forest conservation policies, whereas modern Japan does not.
