In many places, new homes are needed, but the only space available for building them is in the countryside. Some people believe it is more important to protect the countryside and not build homes there. What is your opinion about this?

Over the past decades, demand of more houses has soared up drastically, especially in urban areas. Due to

this

, authorities are forced to expand the cities into their outskirts, leading to utilise the space available in

the countrysides

. Many believe that it is not a positive development and I strongly agree with

this

statement. In

this

essay, I will outline why urban sprawling into the countryside is not a viable solution.

First

and foremost, the land over there is usually farmland to grow vegetables and fruits. Any disturbance to that environment will have underlying repercussions to the mankind by a decrease in the production of food items. Many countries, like India, are suffering from the food scarcity, where people are dying of hunger because of famine or the other calamities, which are the ramifications of recent construction works in the rural areas.

Additionally

, all these developments are contaminating the soil in that area, and ultimately disturbing the food chain. Certainly,

this

is leading to other health issues among human beings and animals living in that region. Another major issue is that

countrysides

are generally the major attraction for the tourism industry in many countries because of its picturesque landscapes and helps in boosting the economy of local communities. By constructing buildings over there, there has been a major impact on the source of income of local people. Places nearby Mumbai, the financial capital of India, are completely being swallowed by the cities, impacting the tourism drastically over there. Many lakes, and spectacular views have completely vanished as if they were never there. There are many underlying reasons why

countrysides

should not be used for building houses, and government should look for alternates. In conclusion, in my perspective, even though it is the dire need of expanding the urban cities, the consequences of urbanization in

countrysides

by building more houses is probably not a great idea and we need to look for better alternates

instead

of spoiling the environment.
