In many countries, people are moving away from rural areas and towards urban areas. Why do you think that is? What problems can this cause?

Nowadays, a common trend observed in many parts of the world is migration of individuals from rural to urban communities;

this

is because of the monetary benefits like increased pay, better job prospects as well finer education. Whist, urban

lifestyle

has significant advantages, there are some considerable drawbacks as well; these include increased

air

pollution, more traffic congestions, expensive

lifestyle

, and

finally

decreased ties with the our

community

.

Firstly

, urban

lifestyle

brings with it a myriad of problems

this

includes increased

air

pollution; as more and more houses tend to be tightly packed, urban households enjoy less clean

air

than its rural counterpart. The smoke, from our kitchens, cigarettes and cars gets inhaled by inhabits resulting in severe severe health problems like lung cancer.

Secondly

, traffic congestions in urban regions are much more than rural communities resulting in more accidents.

Thirdly

, urban lifestyles tend to very expensive and might not be sustainable for the average income families; the housing, grocery as well as education costs are all exponentially more affordable in rural areas.

Lastly

, by choosing to move

further

and

further

way from the birth places in search of monetary benefits like money, better job prospects we are essentially forgetting our ties to the

community

. Most people living in urban communities tend to lead a very busy

lifestyle

, they usually have very little time for the

community

while those living in rural communities tend to be very close knit and caring. In my opinion, the benefits offered by rural areas

such

as cleaner

air

, better ties to the

community

and a significantly less expensive

lifestyle

are better in the long term in comparison to urban living.
