Answer 2

Features of urban life

Explanation:

Population: Cities are population magnets as they provide jobs for a living. So all cities are characterized with dense population which leads to increased traffic and all the consequences of such dense population.

Pollution: Cities are polluted due to the increasing population and overuse of resources. So water pollution and noise pollution is common. With industries located near these cities, widespread use of coal and industrial waste polluted air and water.  

The noise of the factories, passenger and goods train whistles and wheels created noise pollution.
