More than half of the world’s population live in cities. Traffic and pollution are becoming big problems in big cities all over the world. In cities like Mexico City, Shanghai or Cairo the quality of air is getting worse every day. In the United States, people spend more time sitting in traffic jams.

Some of the world’s cities have already found the answer to the problem. In Bogota, the capital of Columbia, the government has taken measures to improve the quality of life for the city’s 8 million people. They created over a thousand new parks, a new public transport system, and built hundreds of cycling and walking paths. People who live in the city also joined in making their city one of the most livable (适合居住的) places in South America.

Today city planners around the world are looking for ways to provide more room for living and less room for cars. In America, public transport has increased over 2 % since the mid 1990s — not much but a start. More and more people leave their cars at home and get on buses, trains or even ride a bike to work. Some cities are far better at planning than others. In Amsterdam, for example, only 40 % of the population use their cars to get to work, 35 % ride bikes while 25% use public transport. In Paris, about half of the city’s workers drive their cars to work.

For cities in developing countries, the problems have just started. Traffic is getting worse as more and more people can afford to buy a car.

In a big room on the second floor of the New York City Department of Sanitation's East 99th Street garage， 63-year-old Manhattan native Nelson Molina was listening to a Frank Sinatra CD he found in the trash． "The Way You Look Tonight" was playing through a music player． In fact， the entire space was filled with items strangers threw away．"My family kept everything，"said Molina．"Nowadays， people throw it all away．" Molina， during his 34 years as a sanitation worker （环卫工人）， gave these items a second life．

On the job， Molina had his sixth sense for finding items．"I could tell， sometimes just by the sound， whether a bag was filled with bottles or a different kind of glass，" he said． He kept special finds on the truck， and then put them in out-of-the-way places in the sanitation garage． After almost 10 years， he began showing his discoveries．"It's not a normal practice．"said NYC Department of Sanitation assistant chief Keith Mellis． Recently， a team of New York University students has taken on the task of cataloging （分类） the tens of thousands of objects， in hopes that the collection， which has hardly been open to the public， might one day be shown in an official sanitation museum．
