There is no doubt that the population of metropolitan cities all over the world are soaring day by day and it causes countless problems in the cities
such
as
air
pollution
and higher
accommodation
prices.
However
, the possible solutions to resolve these issues for the individual and
go
s to use public transport and create more job opportunities respectively.
One of the fundamental issues arise from big cities due to overpopulation is
air
pollution
. To elucidate, the majority of people today tend to have a personal car in order to commute to the office on time, which increases heavy traffic on the roads. Cars run on fossil fuels and it emits hazardous pollutants in the
air
, which causes
air
pollution
.
Similarly
, there are many industries in the urban areas which release harmful chemicals in the atmosphere, which give rise to
air
pollution
.
For example
, a study by the BBC News in April 2019 reported that there has been a 20% increase in the demand for cars
last
years, which resulted in a deleterious impact on the earth’s environment. Another problem is the high
accommodation
price. Many people migrate from rural to urban areas to have a good job prospect and to provide better education to their children.
As a result
, these areas get overpopulated and landlords often take advantage of
this
by charging an exorbitant cost for
accommodation
.
The possible solution for individuals to tackle
this
problem would be the use of public transport. If most people switch to public transportation rather than using own car to commute to the office, undeniably, there will be a decrease in
air
pollution
to a certain extent.
For example
, in Japan, many people started using the car pooling system for commuting from home to work, which resulted in the reduction of
air
pollution
by 25%. Another solution for the
government
is to create jobs for people. If the
government
develops rural areas by encouraging industrialists to open more factories in rural areas,
this
will create more jobs over there.
As a result
, people seem to be less inclined to come to the cities.
In conclusion,
air
pollution
and high
accommodation
price are very common problems which stem from urban areas owing to overpopulate. Only when the
government
develops rural areas and create jobs and an individual use public transport, will the problem be tackled.
