People living in large cities have to face many problems in everyday life. What are those problems? Should the government encourage people to move to regional towns?

Whether to live in the convenience of big cities or the beauty of rural areas is a topic that has been long debated. Many

present reasons and arguments

that both have its advantages and disadvantages.

Although

, large cities have its problems

such

as pollution, not enough family

time

and increased levels of anxiety and depression, the solution is not to shift the individuals living in urban areas to rural ones.

Therefore

,

this

essay will focus mainly on the aforementioned issues and the steps the

government

can take in order to tackle these problems.

Firstly

, pollution in various forms

such

as air or water has presented itself as an issue

to

in

all parts of the world, even though it may have affected some more severely than the others. The rising number of industrial and manufacturing factories have significantly contributed to

this

factor.

Although

, leading companies

such

as Transworld have taken the initiative to reduce waste and preserve the environment by implementing several corporate social responsibility activities, the total negative impact has not drastically changed. Laws need to be implemented wherein the number of factories operating in an area

are restricted

is restricted

.

Government

officials must ensure that proper industrial waste management services are set in place before a factory is given approval. Another major problem faced by those living in large cities is that they do not get enough

time

to relax and spend with their family and friends. Individuals are so overwhelmed by work that they complain about not getting any personal

time

.

However

, a recent survey conducted in the United States of America revealed that

majority

the majority

of the Americans would work and try to earn more if they were given an extra day in a week.

This

mentality was smartly combated by the

government

of Canada by introducing 'Family day' which meant that individuals were not allowed to work and expected to spend

time

with their loved ones. Countries

such

as Sweden and Norway have

also

gained much praise for their remarkable work-life balance.

Such

strategies need to be introduced

world wide

involving the entire earth; not limited or provincial in scope

worldwide

in order to ensure the physical and mental well-being of the public.

Furthermore

, the lack of personal

time

and a well-built community has elevated the levels of anxiety and depression by individuals living in cities.

Therefore

, the

government

, in collaboration with companies should take the effort to ensure that employees working at any tier in the hierarchy are given sufficient opportunities and outlet to vent and express their concerns and complaints.

This

could be promoted in the form of group and individual

counseling

something that provides direction or advice as to a decision or course of action

counselling

sessions or even taking employees out on company trips. In conclusion, people living in large cities are posed with many threats to their physical and mental health.

Nonetheless

, moving them to rural areas will not solve the problems as it would just cause an unequal distribution of population which would lead to conflicts relating to resource availability.

Instead

, it would be more useful for the

government

officials of different countries to implement strategies similar to the ones that are mentioned above in a way

that is

most suitable for their country.
