     Now,more and more cities are facing problems,such as high housing prices,pollution and crime. LetJs see what people in Hyderabad,India and in Sao Paulo,Brazil do to solve the problems.

     Hyderabad,India

     To improve people's lives,Hyderabad is planting more and more trees. The city is even creating greener buildings that use less water and less electricity for power. Adding green to a city has a number of advantages. For example, trees make the air cleaner. In Hyderabad,streets were grey and dirty in the past. However,today they are filled with trees and flowers,which make the city cleaner and more colourful. Green areas also give people places to relax or exercise. A study in the USA shows an interesting thing： The greener a neighbourhood is,the less crime there is.

    Sao Paulo,Brazil

    Many people work in the centre of Sao Paulo,but they don't live there. They’ve spread out to

neighbourhoods outside the city because housing is cheaper there. Every day,these people travel into the city,and traffic is very heavy. City planners are using different ways to deal with the problem. Finst,they are building better subways. Another way is to make it cheaper for people to live in the downtown areas (中心區(qū)). Doing these will reduce traffic and pollution in the city.
