which leads to pollution and congestion on roads.
On the other hand
, constructing new developments has some drawbacks.

. Despite these disadvantages there are many advantages of establishing new towns in rural areas; houses in these areas can be affordable for most people because there is less competition, more free land is available and it is not polluted or overcrowded;
