Mega-cities: How do people deal with each other, as well as with the stress, noise, chaos and sensory overload of living daily with more than 10 million other people in the same city?
“In 2014, there were 28 mega-cities worldwide, home to 453 million people or about 12 percent of the world’s urban dwellers. Of today’s 28 mega-cities, sixteen are located in Asia, four in Latin America, three each in Africa and Europe, and two in Northern America. By 2030, the world is projected to have 41 mega-cities with 10 million inhabitants or more.”
Photographer Martin Roemers set out to document more than 20 of today’s mega-cities. His highly-detailed long-exposure photographs are jam-packed with detail, and reveal bustling, chaotic, crowded scenes of everyday life in the 21st century.
