To survive in Tokyo is tough. There are millions of inhabitants and the competition rate is high. A lot of people have failed to earn enough for their living and become homeless. There are several places in the city where you can spot the gathering of these urban nomads such as Ueno Park, some major subway stations or the promenade along Sumida River. The local government seems to accept that these people are still part of society and cannot just simply be removed. However, this issue has incubated many debates and design workshops in architectural schools worldwide.
