The Living City: Change and the Urban Environment, Friday, Period 3

"When we visited Chicago during the 1893 Colombian Exposition, it was to witness the rebirth and rebranding of a city that had seen mass destruction about twenty years earlier," Bruce said from just outside the portal. "For Tokyo, we're visiting something similar; the 1964 Summer Olympics. This was the true kickoff of Tokyo becoming a true world city again after the war, and it was framed in terms of peace and sport during the height of the Cold War. Feel free to tour on your own, or stick with the group."

This was huge. Hanna wasn't sure what she wanted to see first, honestly. She kept coming back to the track-and-field events, watching in awe.

This, *this* she could see as being a long-term goal.
