Tokyo Population 2024 Impact. The ability of tokyo to expand so rapidly surprised me the most. Recent population estimates for tokyo hold that around 8.3 million people live just within the city's traditional boundaries.
As urbanization surges—from 50% of the global population today to an anticipated 70% by 2050—cities are poised to gain an additional 2.2 billion residents, primarily in africa. While foreign residents increased in all of the country’s 47 prefectures, surpassing 3 million for the first time, only tokyo saw a slight increase in its japanese population, rising 0.03 percent due to the high influx.
