Monster Cities

Are big cities wonderful places? Are they terrible? There are different ideas about this. William H. White writes books about cities. He is happy in a crowded city. He loves busy streets with many stores and many people. He likes the life in city parks and restaurants.

Many people don't like big cities. They see the large population of cities, and they are afraid. Many cities are growing very fast. They are "monster" cities. (A monster is a big terrible thing) In some countries, there are no jobs in small towns. People go to the cities to work. For example, 300,000 people go to Sao Paulo, Brazil, every year. In China, about 183,000 people move to Beijing from the countryside every year. Sao Paulo and Beijing are both megacities.

A megacity is a very, very big city. It includes the main city and the cities and towns around it. Mexico City is a megacity. It has a population of about 8,600,00 in the city itself, but more than 21,000,000pepole in the megacity. Tokyo is another megacity, with over 8,200,000 people in Tokyo, but over 31,000,000 in Tokyo and the cities around it.

There are problems in all cities. There are big (or mega) problems in a megacity. In many U.S. Cities, there are many people with no jobs, and no homes. The air is dirty. There are too many cars. A terrible problem is crime. Many people are afraid of crime. People want to feel safe.

People density is the number of people in one square mile (2.59 square kilometers) Population density is a big problem in many cities. In Bangkok, Thailand there are 58,397 people per square mile. Is this crowded? Yes! But Other cities are more crowded. Do you think that William H. Whytes likes Hong Kong? The population Density there is 247,501!

Passage No. 2.

San Francisco: A Livable City

A Life is difficult in some big cities. There often aren’t enough jobs. Big cities are crowded, the air can be dirty, and there is crime. But life in some big cities isn’t so terrible. Some big cities are livable. A livable city is an easy place to live. San Francisco is one example.

B San Francisco is a “small” big city. A small big city is large in population but small in area. There are 744,230 people in San Francisco, and the city is 49 square miles, so there are about 17,000 people per square mile. This is a high population density. (In the United States, only New York City has a larger population density.) But San Francisco doesn’t feel crowded. It has water on three sides. The San Francisco Bay is on the east and north sides, and the Pacific Ocean is on the west side. This makes the city feel open and not crowded.

C Also, San Francisco is a city of hills. There are 42 hills in San Francisco. A bill is land with a height of over 100 feet (30 meters). Some hills are in neighborhoods; others are in parks. Many of San Francisco’s hills have wonderful views. From some hills, there are views of tall downtown buildings. From others, there are beautiful views of the water.

D San Francisco is also a city of neighborhoods. Each neighborhood is different from the others. One neighborhood is North Beach. North Beach is an old Italian neighborhood. It has Italian grocery stores and restaurants. Another San Francisco neighborhood is Chinatown. In Chinatown, there are many Chinese businesses. There are even pagodas. Pagodas are traditional Chinese buildings. Another neighborhood, the Inner Sunset has people from many different places: Chinese, Koreans, and Pacific Islanders. Interesting neighborhoods, hills, and views of water all make San Francisco a livable city.
