Some people think that it is best to live in a horizontal city while others think of a vertical city. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Some

people

believe that living in a horizontal

city

is the best,

while

the opponents of

this

idea

prefer to settle in a vertical

city

.

While

there are benefits to

residents

who dwell in a

city

which consists of low-rise construction, I would argue that cities with skyscrapers and high-rise buildings offer more advantages. On the one hand, it is beneficial for

residents

to live in a horizontal

city

based on a few financial and security reasons.

Firstly

,

people

have to pay less for building services. If

residents

settle in a private

house

, they may save a great deal of money since they won’t have to pay for building services.

Secondly

, living lower to the

ground

is safer for inhabitants when emergencies occur.

For example

, if a opponents of

this

idea

: opponents are

people

who disagree with an

idea

; they are against an

idea

, a policy or a rule; to settle in: to decide to live in a specific place; to decide to move to an area and stay there based on: to be the reason for something financial and security reasons: financial refers to money issues, like paying fees; security refers to safety, like being safe in your own home in terms of crime or emergencies private

house

: private describes the fact that you own the

house

, and

therefore

you make all decisions about it and pay for repairs and maintenance yourself, versus paying apartment or condo fees lower to the

ground

: to be close to the

ground

, which makes it easy to get out in case you need to leave the

house

quickly

due to

an emergency fire starts in the home, they can quickly escape from the dangerous areas because the building is not too high off the

ground

and it won’t take much time to leave.

On the other hand

, it seems to me that living in a vertical

city

is the best choice. A

city

with skyscrapers will have more space forpublic usage because there will be less land used for residential areas

due to

the amount of

people

who can live in high buildings.

As a result

, the government would be able to use

this

land to build hospitals, schools or places for entertainment.

Furthermore

, it is much more convenientfor

residents

to live in an apartment in a tall building which offers a wide range of goods and services, thanks to shopping malls and service centers on lower floors. In conclusion,

while

living in a horizontal

city

does have some benefits, it seems to me that the advantages of life in a

city

with skyscrapers makes living in a vertical

city

the better choice.
