Question

 Look around——What do you see? What do you hear? What do you smell? If you live in a city, you probably see many people. You hear the noise of the traffic. And you breathe the polluted air from cars and factories.

They are looking for jobs. The cities are growing very quickly. Most cities are very crowded. People are driving more cars, burning more fuel(燃料)，using more water， eating more food, making more garbage and producing more things in factories than ever before. Life is becoming more difficult.

  Some governments are trying to plan for the future. They are building new roads and new houses，looking for more water and limiting (限制)the population growth in certain(特定的) areas. Still, city planners are getting worried. People are crowding into the cities faster. The cities are running out of room. What is the answer to this problem?
