M: Good morning.
W: Doctor Jones, for what you have clone in population study, what can you tell us about the situation in urban areas
M: Well, the first thing that comes to my mind is that, now, half of the residents on this earth are living in cities. And that is why we feel many cities are in a messy condition.
W: But city life is not always a bad thing, is it
M: No, of course not. But many experts worry about this process of urbanization. We can see that urbanization is having a huge effect on human health and the quality of the environment.

These are areas of poverty, slums that generally lack basic services like clean water, or even permanent housing.
