project/hw help thread

Ok, so i'm doing a project for geography, and I need to know why Tokyo Disneyland is located where it is. In other words, why was it put exactly where it was?

 

Thanks in advance, and my geography class is pointless!

 

EDIT: I changed the point of this thread, so anyone who needs help with a project/Homework can just post here!

I meant like what influenced Disney to put in in the EXACT spot it is in. For example, that mall is placed by a highway to attract more customers.

Uses of Geography

 

The subject of geographic study is space; for much of Japan, space is a rare commodity. As early as the 1600s, the people of Tokyo, then Edo, filled in wetlands around the Imperial Palace. Modern Tokyo has attracted a huge population, demanding space; land reclamation has resulted in the filling of 20% of the surface area of Tokyo Bay. Tokyo International Airport, Disneyland, and Yokohama seaport facilities are on reclaimed land. A Landsat Image in National Geographic, October, 2002, shows the incredible extent of this human alteration of natural environment. The impact on the fishing industry is monumental; the impact on humans living there is being discovered daily. (Dalby, 42)

Thanks a lot, now I can finish my project for the evil Mrs. Chin!

 

 

Also, we could change this thread to a Project help thread, for anyone who needs it, if anyone wants me to.
