Although many people value their public parks, this space could be better used for other purposes such as residential areas for the ever-growing population or to develop business and boost economies. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this?

While many people recognize the importance of having access to public parks, others argue that

this

space could better serve communities by being used for housing or business developments.

Although

it is undeniable that

such

initiatives would create jobs and boost the local economy, I would argue that the green space in cities serves an equally important purpose in local people’s lives and that

parks can be maintained while

also

being used to generate revenue for cities.

First

of all, access to green space is essential for human happiness, and

this

is especially important in crowded cities. Parks offer people an escape from

. One could argue that having a collectively healthier and happier society would increase productivity in all facets of commerce and help create and maintain a robust and sustainable economy.

in addition

to providing a place for people to relax, local parks can be used to generate revenue in several ways. Cities can use their parks to stage events

such

as art fairs and music festivals and allow local shops and restaurants to sell do business there during

such

events.

This

would directly benefit local businesses as well as bring the

together. City governments could

establish

gardens in their parks and rent individual plots to local residents. A project

such

as

would benefit the city economically while providing a

garden to supply a farmers’ market in the park. In conclusion, I strongly disagree with the argument that city parks would be better used as housing or commercial zones. My belief is that
