The problem in Japanese cities is not what foreign architects very occasionally get up to but the consequences of Japanese architects and consortia building condominiums and office developments at a scale designed to make maximum profits and take minimum account of the human scale and their impact on the urban environment. In other words Japanese cities suffer because Japanese big business wants to make a fast buck.
Posted in: Japan is a disposal ground -- a toilet -- and if a foreign design turns out to be poor, the foreign architect can just go back to their own country and forget about it.

@Westurn. I really am a professional statistician and I quite agree with you that all 'reported crime' statistics are suspect and contain serious reporting distortions (Chiba police were caught red-handed at it some time ago). But there is no doubt that the true underlying Japanese rate of offences is much lower. I actually included a qualification in my original comments but a moderator here has chosen to delete them, presumably because of an invidious comparson with the USA.
@netrek. I don't follow homicide statistics in detail but of all the crimes it is the one most likely to get fully reported and there are few differences in definitions internationally. I can tell you that the last time I checked the homicide rate per million inhabitants for Chiba-ken ran at 7% the contemporary USA average. Japan is far safer when it comes to getting murdered. Maybe this too will now be censored, but let's hope not.

Actually that's not true. There are nearly fifty million households in Japan so the chances of being burgled here in any one year are under half of one percent.
Still, always better to lock the door when you go to bed at nights.
