I came away from Japan with 3 main questions regarding sustainability and you've answered one of them here. Thank you for doing all the legwork required and explaining it so well. My other two questions (that may not tie to urban development): How does Japan's treatment of plastic waste compare to other methods, sustainability-wise (incineration vs. recycling)? Also, I saw ZERO farm animals in fields which makes me think animals are being raised indoors. I wonder about their welfare.
