People mountain people sea? Yes, this means too many people at a place. This is a photo taken in Shenzhen.
Shenzhen’s fast development has made it become China’s most crowded city! There are about 15 million people living on its 1,991 square kilometres. On average (平均) 7,500 people live on each square kilometre. It is 1,080 more than that in Hong Kong, and nearly 800 more than that in Guangzhou.
Besides, Shenzhen owns 2 million local vehicles (车辆), and about 300,000 vehicles from other places also run on the local roads every day. The total length of the city’s road is 6,041 kilometres. It means each person only owns 0.58 metres of road!
As a result, the city is facing serious environmental and resource (资源) problems. One of the problems is water shortage. The amount of fresh water for each person of the city is only 25% of the country’s average. What’s more, most of the water drunk by Shenzhen people comes from other areas.
