About this ebook
This book takes a simple look at what it means to live in a city. It examines what you can find in a city, why people choose to live there, and the risks people might have because of living in a city, such as pollution. The book also looks at how people adapt to living in cities and the different things people can do in their daily lives, from working in a skyscraper to visiting the zoo!
