The electricity network that serves a lot of these places is a jumble of overhead wires with no apparent system, however in the newer and more upmarket areas the electricity supply is via underground cable. Buildings of all shapes and sizes line the motorway system which is the main method of vehicular movement around the city, many side streets being too small to even drive down. This picture of Tokyo Bay shows the Rainbow Bridge, one of the main access ways to the reclaimed business island that is Odaiba. A difference in the planning process can be seen between the buildings on the island and those on the mainland. Where the ones on the mainland are constrained by the existing infrastructure at the time of their construction and are a jumble of shapes and sizes build on individual lots, the buildings on the island reflect a more modern approach to planning with the buildings and infrastructure systems designed together allowing a greater scale of building and thus an allusion (and a reality) of more space, creating an altogether more relaxed environment than the main parts of the city itself. ![Tokyo Bay from Tokyo Tower][1] [1]: https://edxuploads.s3.amazonaws.com/14157964078618885.jpg
