Urban areas are what we know as cities. New York City, London, and Seoul are
examples. Urban areas have large populations of more than 50,000 people. Since there are
so many people, there is not a lot of space. So, buildings are taller and closer together. Most
people live in apartment buildings. Urban areas have good public transportation. You can
visit museums or theaters. There are also many companies for people to work at.
Outside of urban areas are suburban areas. The populations of suburban areas are
smaller than urban areas. Since there are fewer people, there is a lot more space. Many
people live in houses with a yard, and they also own cars. In suburban areas, you can go for
bike rides and visit parks and gardens. Suburban areas are a good place to live if you have a
big family.

Cities are full of tall buildings, factories, and cars. They are very useful places for people to
live. However, for animals, living in a city can be tough. This is why some animals have changed to
survive city life.

pollution in the city. This makes the surface of trees darker. The peppered moth changes to a
darker color to match the trees. In this way, it can hide from other animals.

too noisy for other birds to hear it singing. So the great tit changes its song to a higher pitch.
