Some people claim that museums and art galleries are not needed today because everyone can see historical objects or art works by computer. Do you agree or disagree?
The global phenomenon of urbanisation Since the beginning of industrialisation to the present day has brought opportunity and prosperity, albeit at a cost in the quality of life. With an increasing city population, the complexity of the challenges
also
increases, the causes and solutions for this
are outlined below.
The causes for the decrease in the quality of life are paradoxically the prosperity endowed on such
metropolitan centres. Their growth is largely due to the increase of opportunities on offer, which in turn increases their attractiveness, essentially they are trapped in a positive self-reinforcing cycle. However
, this
eventually leads to a decrease in the quality of life as the city can experience overcrowding, exorbitant property prices, and increased vulnerability to terrorist attacks. For example
the density of London makes it a more efficient place to attack, when compared to a smaller Town such
as Bradford. Therefore
, due to continuous growth and prosperity, urban citizens, especially the less well off, often experience a lower standard of living.
Considering the solutions, greater investment in public transport would ease traffic congestion, as would bike lanes. In theory, this
would reduce air pollution, and possibly improve the wellbeing of the population if they did adopt a more active lifestyle and cycle to work. To counter violent terrorist attacks, cities could embark on CCTV installations, so as to closely monitor for threats. For example
, it is said, the CCTV in London has foiled many potential attacks, and therefore
greatly increased the security of its citizens.
To conclude, a wealthy city attracts a large population inflow, which then
causes pressure on existing infrastructure and security. Various solutions exist to mitigate such
drawbacks, nevertheless
an indefinite solution has yet to be found.Unauthorized use and/or duplication of this material without express and written permission from this site’s author and/or owner is strictly prohibited.
