I raised to the countryside. I live in a town with 100 000 inhabitants.

For me would be surely an adventure living in a mega city! And I mean cities with 20 000 000 people. Visiting is quite different, we do it as travel addicted! But living there?

I wonder what a kind of briliant manager must be the maire of this mega city to ensure water supply, waste collection, cleaning and recirculating used waters, controlling traffic jams.Etc, etc. This a task for real!

In the ancient times humans should gather for surviving, it was much safer. Than appeared the cities, beginning with Ur and Uruk. Everyone who wants to live better or wants to be someone goes to a city, preferably mega city. It is a historic reflex indeed: it is easier to live in the urban jungle than in the forest rain. Or you simply have no other choice, the mega city swalows your town or small village. For sure, the quality of life is not so good for many inhabitants of the mega cities, but they strive nevertheless to live better and move in a better city quarter.

The life in a mega city has rhytm, you never get bored, you are never alone. But remains a jungle, homo homini lupus, if I may say so! There are pubs, gangs, neighborhoods, outsiders, newcomers etc . Sometimes much more complicated than in a small town, where everybody knows anyone and all want to help mutual! And everybody goes to church, or temple on Sunday- which are the right temples for mega cities?

The problems of the mega cities is also a problem of poverty. It outbreaks more dramatic in the developping countries, like India. Egypt consists practically on deset, Cairo and the Nile. The choice is easy to be made. Similarly in Indonesia, Brazil etc. Even Moscow , the biggest european city is an example. There are some countries where more a quarter of the population are concentrated in the capital(e.g. Egypt!) with all emerging problems(water and air pollution).

Well, dear citizens of mega cities and of small towns, I am very kean to see your opinions about all these things! With all possible pros and contras.
