As more and more people move to cities and as cities expand in size, City life loses its appeal To what extent do you agree or disagree with this

It is irrefutable that cities are expanding rapidly due to the large

number

of people that are moving towards these areas. Owing to

this

migration, I completely agree with the statement that

city

life is gradually losing its appeal. Each

city

has a threshold of natural resources that it can provide for i

ts

Suggestion

Its

inhabitants. Unfortunately, as most metropolitan cities have crossed that capacity, it is becoming quite challenging to provide basic amenities,

such

as water, land and fresh air, to all the people.

Therefore

quality of life in

such

areas is degrading at a very fast pace.

For instance

, as almost 10000 people migrate to Mumbai, every month, many slum areas have come into existence to provide shelter to a myriads of people, and

as a result

, around 750 thousand people live in a very small area and

this

place has

also

been the epicentre of many deadly diseases.

Hence

, the whole

city

is getting affected by it. With the rise in the

number

of people in the cities,

number

of vehicles on the road has

also

dramatically increased, and

consequently

, air and noise pollution, traffic congestion and roadway safety have

also

been compromised as the

number

of road accidents have

also

increased.

For example

, Mumbai local trains are always teeming with people, and everyone gets squashed because each person wants to board a train.

Subsequently

, local transportation system, within the cities has

also

degraded. If cities would have a limited

number

of immigrants, there would have been less pressure on these systems. In conclusion, I firmly opine that as

number

of people are increasing in a

city

, the quality of a

city

life is degrading because basic amenities and local transportation system is being compromised.
