Some people think that it would be better for large companies and industry to move to regional areas outside large urban centers. Do you think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?

All major cities of the world have a common issue of rising temperatures due to global warming. There are few people who think it would be more appropriate, if large industrial units are moved out of the

city

limits. In

this

essay, we will discuss the pros and cons of moving these industries outside the

city

regions. One of the major disadvantages of moving these huge industries outside the urban areas is that it will increase the commute cost for its workers.

This

is because most of the workers

these urban areas, so the distance they need to travel daily would increase drastically. Take,

for example

,

currently a person who

work, but

, when

industry is moved out of the urban areas, he will have to travel 12 miles. In my view,

is a clear disadvantage when the industries are

away from the

.

On the other hand

, when large industrial plants are moved out of the urban

centers

an area that is approximately central within some larger region

the air and water pollution within the

city

is greatly reduced.

In addition

to the environmental impact,

this

move will

also

reduce the traffic congestion in urban areas.

This

happens because a lot of the commute and goods vehicles will be diverted to other parts outside the busy roads of the

city

. To illustrate, in an industry having 500

workers which

workers, which

center

. The workers used the busy

city

lanes to travel to their work, but now as the industry

is moved

moves

outside the urban area, these workers can take the express freeway to reach work and thereby reducing the

city

traffic. Having looked at both sides, in my opinion the advantages of moving the industries outside the urban areas clearly outweigh the disadvantages. The improvements in the air and water qualities of the

city

along with reduced traffic are hard to ignore advantages, compared to the increase in commuting costs.
