EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures an awe-inspiring aerial view of Jakarta, the bustling capital city of Indonesia. Taken on October 21,2011, this image showcases the magnitude and complexity of a megacity. Jakarta is classified as one due to its staggering population exceeding 10 million people. The United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs predicted in a March 2010 report that by 2025, there would be an increase from 21 to 29 megacities globally, with most emerging in developing nations. This photograph serves as a testament to the rapid urbanization occurring across the world. As we gaze upon this remarkable snapshot, we are reminded of the immense challenges faced by these densely populated areas. The sheer scale and density depicted here highlight both the opportunities and struggles inherent in managing such vast human settlements. On October 31st, just days after this picture was taken, our global population reached a significant milestone - seven billion individuals inhabiting our planet. This image encapsulates not only Jakarta's grandeur but also symbolizes humanity's ever-growing presence on Earth. Photographer Supri Supri masterfully captured this momentous scene for Reuters Images without any mention of commercial use or affiliation with any specific company. Through his lens, he invites us to contemplate the complexities and wonders found within our modern cities while acknowledging their potential impact on our shared future.
