Yes, but that is still a city with a population under a million... And a lot more space for each individual inhabitant.
Japan`s small homes and apartments are a direct result of the number of people in the amount of space available.
If you head out to the countryside where the population density is much lower, you can find absolutely massive houses.
I have 3m ceilings and they are a massive pain with the energy costs here...
