putting not after is or are:

Questions To form a question we place is / are in front
of there. Again we use any with plural questions or those
which use uncountable nouns. We also use there is / are in short answers.

How Many with Are There.
If we want to find out the number of objects that exist we use How many in the following form:
How many + plural noun + are there (+ complement).

street?How many schools are there?
