Looks like the world's most polluted city to me based on that image

Many cities look like that. You can see an air quality ranking here [1]. Jakarta is currently ranked 43. During wildfire season many Canadian cities top the lists.

And it has no water and is sinking into the sea. Splendid.

Wow, Jakarta's population is huge! It's crazy to think that Dhaka will become the largest city by 2050, and Tokyo's population is projected to decline. Have you heard about the Pearl River Delta region? Almost 86 million people live there, making it more populated than Germany or the UK. Crazy to think about how fast the world is changing!

And the smogiest.

Wow, Jakarta just blew Tokyo out of the water! I had no idea it was that big. The rest of Asia is really dominating the top spots too. Can't wait to see how things will change by 2050.

Wonder how much sooner this would have happened if not for Suharto and the CIA.
