Well, just imagine the kinds of difficulties this is going to cause in terms of health, transport and education. Yes. What about the cities of Asia? Will they be experiencing a similar sort of growth? In some cases, yes. Calcutta in India which was number ten in the league in 1950 is expected to be the fourth biggest city in the world with a population of 16 million-quadrupling its size in just 50 years. Bombay and Delhi too are expected to be in the top ten. What about Japan? Ah! Well, Tokyo was number three in 1950 and that's where it'll be at the beginning of the next century, although its population will have trebled to about 18 million.
