A popular concept of contemporary urban development in Japan, "cities within a city" are complexes of one or several buildings, consisting of shopping, entertainment and recreational facilities, offices, restaurants, hotels and residential space.
It seems that in recent years, a new city within the city has been opened to the public every few months in another newly redeveloped district of Tokyo and other Japanese cities.
