Beijing has all the modern problems of the big city: housing shortages, pollution, noise, lack of water, electricity, transportation problems
Rising numbers of pet dogs in Beijing are causing problems — from overcrowding to rabies.

Beijing's population takes an average of 3. 6 billion cubic meters of water annually, while water resources provide only 2. 1 billion. Deficit of 1. 5 billion cubic meters of water.

Transport infrastructure is overloaded Beijing
А few years ago to produce cars in China grew at a rate of 40 -50 % per year. Over five years, the number has almost doubled on the roads at the end of 2011 there were already more than 100 million vehicles, of which 80 % belonged to private owners. However, transport infrastructure is not designed for such a busy traffic, so Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and some other major cities were clogged with " plugs " and the exhaust gases exacerbate the already difficult environmental situation. To solve the problem, in late 2010, the Beijing authorities have imposed restrictions on the purchase of cars. Register new rooms became raffle.

The world produces an estimated 490 million tons of trash every year, and China’s cities account for 150 million tons.
