City Scenes
In many countries around the world, more and more people live in cities. Cities share
many characteristics, but are also different from country to country.
Mexico
Mexico’s cities are modern but have traditional Indian and Spanish influences. The most
important buildings are around a central square, which also serves as a place to meet with
friends. There are outdoor marketplaces, where people can find almost anything they
need. On Sundays, parks are a popular place for family outings. Many people move to
Mexico City from rural areas. It has a lot of excitement, but also lots of traffic and air
pollution.
Japan
Japan’s cities also have a mix of traditional and modern characteristics. There are tall
office and apartment buildings as well as traditional wooden houses. Many people prefer
to live near the center of cities, but because houses there are expensive, they often
commute from suburbs. Traffic, pollution, and crowds are problems. However, there is
little crime, and even very crowded cities have many parks and gardens.
