New Project: Aerial Views MANILA, PHILIPPINES - OVERPOPULATION



Having about 23 millions inhabitants Manila, Capitol of the Philippines, is one of the biggest metropolitan regions on the planet.
About the half of its population lives in extremely densely populated Slums and Squatter Camps.

Seen from above it get’s visible how close those cottages and scanty housings are compressed against each other with their varicolored rooftops.

Manila shows, like the other Megacities the excrescences of overpopulation.
Nearly 7.5 billion people are living on the planet today. The United Nations expect a consistent growth, which might lead to nine billion in 2050 and eleven billion human beings in 2100.
