In many places, new homes are needed but the only space available for building them is in the countryside. Some people believe that it is more important to protect the countryside and not build new homes. What is your opinion about this?

Thanks to urbanization, there is a continuous inflow of migrates from towns and villages to cities,

thus

, causing tremendous stress on basic infrastructure like housing and transport.

Although

some feel that to provide accommodation to these people there is no need to expand into the

countryside, I ,

believe that new buildings should be built in

countryside

Suggestion

the countryside

for two main reasons.

Firstly

, pollution in cities have reached dangerous levels. Environmentalist

that building housing complexes in

will destroy the environmental eco-system in terms of vegetation and its green cover.

However

, I would argue that the many governments already have regulation in place when developing residential projects in rural areas.

Additionally

, most of the people are already aware that cutting down trees is one of the major reasons for global warming.

Thus

, by developing housing facilities outside of cities, pollution levels in cities can be decreased.

Finally

, most of the cities have exhausted their land resources. Many urban areas have exhausted every inch of their land, because of

this

scarcity, land prices are too high. Any new housing project in these cities automatically results in

high

higher

purchase cost for a flat.

As a result

, many middle-class people will find it difficult to purchase or even rent a house in these cities. Developing housing facilities in country side will help to ease

this

price. To sum up, not only do developing housing facilities in

countryside

reduce pollution, they

also

help to bring down the current sky-high housing prices in cities.

Therefore

although

there are concerns regarding the environmental impact on

, I believe that expanding housing to the

rural regions

is a good idea.
