An increasing number of people are moving to large metropolises in the hope of a better future.
However
,
city
life
brings many difficulties for people. Some arduous in the
city
include:
traffic
congestion
and high
cost
of living. In my opinion, governments could do much more to improve
city
life
for the inhabitant.
Traffic
congestion
is a big difficulty in the
city
. Because the
city
is very densely populated.According to the data of the Hanoi Department of
Transport
, up to now, there have been about 5 million motorbikes and 535 thousand cars in Hanoi.
This
metric has shown, the number of people moving is very crowded, leading to
traffic
bumper to bumper.
In addition
, a serious problem is that not every citizen is conscious of obeying
traffic
laws. When participating in
traffic
, some people go through a red light, speeding, leading to very serious accidents and overcrowding in the streets.
In addition
,
transport
infrastructure is underdeveloped. So far, Ho Chi Minh
City
transport
infrastructure only meets about 30% of the
city
's
transport
development plan. Infrastructure, roads, bridges are narrow and degraded. The construction process was slow and stagnant.
is many people have to struggle with the transportation jams, who usually face with being late in their office.
Therefore
, people in the
city
always grapple with bad
traffic
.
There is no denying that the
cost
of living in big cities is much higher than in the countryside. The impact of
this
can lead to the high
cost
of public services
such
as health services, postal services, and education. It will be difficult for the poor and workers
in big cities with a low minimum wage. They seem to struggle with the rapid changes in the price of basic necessities.
As a result
, many workers have to work day and
still cannot afford for their children to go to school and pay all kinds of living expenses in the family.
Besides
, some people have no rent and they have to stay under bridges or even slums in the
city
. So expensive costs make the
life
of
difficult than
However
, there are various steps that governments could take to tackle these problems.
First
, they need to expand roads, build more bridges and propaganda to raise people's awareness when participating in
traffic
.
Besides
, politicians have the power to ban vehicles from
city
centres and promote the use of cleaner public
transport
, which would help to reduce both air pollution and
traffic
congestion
. Specially, they could invest money in the building of affordable or social housing to reduce the
cost
of living. In London,
for example
, the introduction of a
congestion
charge for drivers has helped to curb the
traffic
problem. Another way, politicians can develop provincial towns and rural areas, by moving industry and jobs to those regions, in order to reduce the pressure on major cities.
Finally
, there are many difficulties in the
city
that people face. Governments should certainly implement a range of measures to enhance the quality of
life
for all
city
residents.
