It's a Crowded World.

 Some interesting pictures of a crowded world and struggling humans.

Its a Crowded World

The pressure on infra-structure is clearly evident in these photographs. It also means that the struggle for survival is all the more acute.Its a case of "feel the city breaking and everybody shaking and its staying alive,staying alive" as the Bee Gees song goes.

As the global population crosses 7.086 billion ( United States Census Bureau) we find that the density of population is skewed to pockets of relative prosperity, development and economic activity. Density of population in the most densely populated cities are given below:

Mumbai	India	14,350,000	484	29,650
2	Kolkata	India	12,700,000	531	23,900
3	Karachi	Pakistan	9,800,000	518	18,900
4	Lagos	Nigeria	13,400,000	738	18,150
5	Shenzhen	China	8,000,000	466	17,150

.
These cities are largely in South Asia and to a lesser extent in West Africa.
