The quality of life in large cities is decreasing. What could be the reasons behind this? What measures can be taken to resolve this problem?

Metropolitan cities face a serious inconvenience to live in, in terms of qualitative aspects of

life

, nowadays.

This

essay will discuss the reasons and suggest some solutions to overcome

this

issue.

First

and foremost, one of the major reasons that devastate the

quality

of living in big cities is

air

pollution

. With the burgeoning transportation vehicles used by individuals, the environment has the detrimental carbon emission filled with poisonous gases

such

as carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.

This

worst condition, not only decreases the

quality

of living, but

also

reduces the

life

expectancy of people who live in urban areas. A study by The Environmental Change Institute of The University of Oxford revealed that cities like London, has badly affected by

air

pollution

like never before, which force people to migrate to the countryside.

Moreover

, there are solutions to improve the way people live by substantial implementation of sustainable energy sources in the automotive sector.

This

can be explained that replacing diesel, petrol and hybrid vehicles, like cars, with electric vehicles which is

pollution

free will dramatically control the

air

pollution

and keep it under control. By enabling

this

, the

life

span of people will increase and

therefore

the better

quality

of

life

will be restored. A good illustration is that, in Finland, the government has proposed a law to replace all the existing vehicles with electric vehicles by 2025 to move to a sustainable society. In summary, one of the main problems with poor

quality

of

life

in big cities is

air

pollution

and

this

can be solved by enforcing laws to make people use electric vehicles which have no harm to the environment. It is predicted that more and more developed and developed countries in the near future will switch over to sustainable energy resources to decrease the

air

pollution

,

thus

it significantly improves the

quality

of

life

in urbanized places.
