The best way to deal with the rising traffic and transportation is to encourage people to live in cities rather than in suburbs or in the countryside. To what extent do you agree or diagree with this option?

When discussing the issue of increased
traffic
and
transportation
problems one should bear in mind the complexity of the issue. Some believe that encouraging people to move to bigger cities will not change

this
essay, I will provide examples and reasons to support my opinion. One argument in favour of my opinion is that people who live in big cities can
use
public

that is
not accessible in rural areas.
This
has been shown in a poll performed among the inhabitants of New York state. In the

This
shows that people who live in major cities can
use the

of cars, which directly decrease

. Another point to support my opinion is that when living in big cities, all the local needs are

and
therefore
people do not
use
their cars.
For example

agree with the above statement, and think that encouraging people to live in big cities is a good way to address the rising

and save our environment.
