In some countries, small town-centre shops are going out of business because people tend to drive to large out-of-town stores. As a result, people without cars have limited access to out-of-town stores, and it may result in an increase in the use of cars. Do you think the disadvantages of this change outweigh its advantages?

Nowadays, people have a tendency to go to large shopping centres which are based on the outskirts,

are on the verge of bankruptcy.

Although

the large out-of-town shopping malls can have several drawbacks, I believe that the merits of

are more influential than the shortcomings. On the one hand, there are some negative effects of out-of-town stores including environmental and economic problems. The

problem is that it could cause a significant damage to the economy of any

As a result

although
