Why New York City is so DIRTY ?? compared to other big cities around the world !!?

Answer 1

I don't think NYC is any dirtier than any other city of this size. I am amazed at how clean it is considering the population-have you been to other cities that can compare to NYC in terms of population? I think it may depend on if you are visiting during trash day for the area also-then it does seem dirty.

Answer 2

Half of the world's 10 dirtiest cities are located in territories that once made up the Soviet Union. The rest are scattered across Africa, Central and South America and India. The most reliable source for the data is a 2006 report by the Blacksmith Institute. The listing is alphabetical and rated by pollution levels in air, water and ground in more than 300 cities that were studied.

In America, the area of Long Beach and Riverside takes the top prize for the most polluted zone in the U.S.

It's been awhile since I've been to New York, but some sections are absolutely beautiful, other areas quite slummy. Not sure whether you're talking trash, etc. or pollution with your question. But I see trashed out areas in every major city I've ever visited. You want dirty? Go down to San Felipe. THAT'S dirty!!!

Answer 3

Because New York has the greatest population of people in the whole North America. It's population density is at about 19 million in the surrounding metro area of NY.

Answer 4

NYC is on the top 10 "Green Cities" list.Excellent drinking water,efficient transportation. LA is the only other city that compares in size.

Answer 5

I can't believe you have been to that many cities around the world to ask such a question. Are there cities that are cleaner, yes. How much do they pay the workers in China who walk around with a broom and dustpan keeping it clean.

Answer 6

Count how many different nationalities in this big city,compare to any other,different people,different culture,different way of living.The question should be why NYC is NOT so dirty.
