Traffic and housing problems could be solved by moving large companies, factories and their employees to the countryside. Do you agree or disagree?

These days with increasing urban populations, there are major problems with congestion and not only the price, but

also

availability of accommodation in large cities of the world. It seems that one possible solution could be to relocate large companies and factories as well as their respective employees out of these urban areas and into more rural ones. I strongly agree that

this

would have a positive effect in making cities more livable.

To begin

with, the

traffic

problem in cities doesn’t only exist from commuting employees, but

also

the general public travelling around the

city

. While

this

may be a fact, if the number of workers' vehicles is reduced on

city

streets, a large percentage of

traffic

Suggestion

the traffic

will obviously decline in rush hours.

For example

, peak hour of the

traffic

is undoubtedly made up largely of staff from companies going to and from home.

Secondly

, in regards to housing problems, populations will always continue to grow in cities and

therefore

inadvertently decrease the number of cheap and available apartments.

This

is certainly obvious,

however

, a large proportion of these apartments are occupied by employees of large firms and their families. If

this

workforce is relocated to housing estates in the country,

city

apartment blocks will fall in price and certainly increase in availability. In conclusion, by relocating workers to rural areas to work and reside, heavy

traffic

conditions and lack of adequate accommodation in

city

centres will obviously change for the better. As far as I’m concerned, I agree that the government should enforce

such

a law in order to increase our standard of living in our hectic

city

life.
