東京理科大学 B英1: Most populous places・人口が多く場所

Hello!



How are you? Today let's look at the most populous places on Earth - places with the most people in the world. 

The picture above is of Delhi, India. It has a population (人口) of 26,454,000 as of 2016. That's incredible!

Here's another one - Sao Paulo, Brazil:

Activity/homework
Now here's a question for all of you: What kinds of problems do you imagine happen in such crowded cities? Think about a lot of things - transportation, housing, food, education, and so on. 

Talk about these things with your classmates.

See you next time!
