The areas those were planned for fifty thousands of people have crossed limits and some have attained the status of metropolitan or mega cities. Although the size and population of cities have increased but on the other hand these cities has lost its character. The open areas are replaced with high rise buildings. Indeed the city comprises of high rise buildings but parallel to this has lost its natural landscape. The people are paying the price of this in form of severe pollution caused by different sources.
