Modern mega-cities
Let’s look intently at the cities, where the majority of us live. Most of the world’s cities are dirty and polluted places facing grave social problems.
Observing a city “landscape” one can see steaming smoke-stacks1 of different factories, endless streams of cars. As a result the level of contamination of the air, water and soil increases every year. Every day a huge number of factories release acids in the atmosphere of big cities. They damage buildings and constructions; as a result the facades need to be repainted very often. A lot of smoke and petrol fumes make the air dirty and harmful for health.
There is also too much litter on the streets. Some steps could be taken to introduce a recycling scheme. This would mean that less rubbish would be burned and therefore there would be less black smoke over the city.
Heavy traffic is another serious problem of large cities. The growing number of cars contributes to a dangerously high level of air pollution. Besides, every day, particularly in the rush hour, the streets get so packed with traffic that travel is very slow or even comes to a standstill. This may be particularly stressful for the people. Then there is also the problem of road accidents which are the most common cause of accidental death.
Grave social problems such as violent crime, drug trafficking, unemployment, and homelessness are also concentrated in large cities.
National governments are aware of the threats posed by these problems but the efforts the authorities make haven’t radically changed the situation so far. The world of cities is as diverse as the world of nature and it needs protection, too. People should take better care of the places they live in. They should save both natural values and masterpieces of human hand.

London
London is a capital city of countless different moods, periods, memories, traditions, sights and sounds – because London is really a lot of different localities and communities crammed into one vast capital.
The London atmosphere has something to do with the colour of the buses or the shape of the policemen’s helmet – you’ve only to be in London a few minutes to understand it is different from other cities.
London (the largest city in Europe) dominates Britain. It is home for the headquarters of all government departments, Parliament, the major legal institutions and the monarch. It is the country’s business and banking centre and the centre of its transport network1. It is about seven times larger than any other city in the country.
The original walled city of London was quite small. (It is known colloquially today as “the square mile”.) It did not contain Parliament or the royal court. It was in Westminster2, another “city” outside London’s walls, that these national institutions met. Today both “cities” are just two areas of central London. In the old days even the Tower of London3, the open history book of England, stood outside the official City limits. Nowadays the “square mile” is home for the country’s main financial organizations. During the daytime, nearly a million people work there, but less than 8,000 people actually live there.
Two other well-known areas of London are the West End and the East End. The former is known for its many theatres, cinemas and expensive shops. The latter is known as the poorer residential area of central London. Last century large numbers of immigrants have settled there.
The centre of Royal London is the Queen’s residence – Buckingham Palace. One of London’s most colourful everyday ceremonies is the Changing of the Guard. If you want to know whether the Queen is at home, watch for the Royal Standard flying high from the Palace flagpole.
Among the new architectural features in London’s panorama is the new Post Office Tower4. It is one of the tallest buildings in Britain. People can go to the top of it and get a bird’s eye view of the city. One of the great attractions is the revolving restaurant. It turns two complete circles every hour and allows people in the restaurant to see a complete view of London.
Like many big cities, London has problems with traffic and pollution. Over 1.000.000 people a day use the London Underground, but there are still too many cars on the streets. The air isn’t clean, but it is cleaner than it was 100 years ago. Until the Clean Air Act in 1956, London was famous for its fog, or “smog” which is a mixture of smoke and fog.
In recent years it has been claimed that London is in decline. In comparison with many other western European cities it looks rather dirty and neglected. Nevertheless its popularity among tourists is still growing.

4The Post Office Tower – башня Управления почт и телеграфа (радиотелевизионная башня, в которой находится центральная телеграфная станция города; в верхней части – закрытая смотровая галерея и вращающийся ресторан; высота 176 м.; открыта в 1965)
