Some cities create new housing for their growing populations by constructing a small number of high-rise buildings. Other cities create more of low-rise buildings. Which solution is better, in your opinion?

Nowadays, with the ever-growing

population

, construction of new houses is highly in demand. Some people prefer tall, modern buildings as a solution whilst others disagree and say that low buildings are better for people’s lives.

However

, the architectural style of the

must

be taken into consideration when concerning new construction.

Therefore

Linking Words

this

debate is rather complicated. In

this

essay, I will examine both sides of the argument, as well give my view on the matter. On the one hand, some people may prefer modern, high-rise buildings as a solution, and there are many reasons for doing so.

Firstly

, it is understandable that a tall building occupies less

land

while having a high capacity for housing.

This

makes it particularly attractive for

city

Use synonyms

centres, where

land

is scarce and expensive, and

population

density is high.

Furthermore

Linking Words

, numerous tall buildings or even skyscrapers have already been built in

city

Use synonyms

centres, as we have seen in most metropolitans,

such

as London.

Therefore

Linking Words

the new buildings will blend in well with the pre-existing buildings, retaining architectural coherence in the

.

Besides

, taller buildings do not necessitate as

use, meaning a reduction of residential shortages in more populated areas.

However

, tall buildings

little or no privacy, and attract higher maintenance costs as its downside.

On the other hand

, some may believe that

low-rise

buildings are more traditional and would offer better living spaces for people, especially those families with children.

Although

low-rise

buildings require more

land

for construction, they offer spacious living areas and a larger garden expanse where children can play, leading to a more enjoyable life.

Moreover

,

low-rise

houses would coalesce well in cities that have conserved their old architectural characteristics.

However

,

this

type of dwelling tends to be built away from

city

Use synonyms

centres, as the

land

outside

city

Use synonyms

centres are less costly, leading to an increased commute time for their residents, and negative effects to their quality of life. In conclusion, high-rise and

low-rise

Use synonyms

buildings have their unique advantages and disadvantages. In my opinion, high-rises are more suitable for younger residents. They should be built in the areas where the young

population

is prevalent, closer to the

centre and employment opportunities. At the same time, senior citizens should have a supply of lower residences available in quieter locations.

Such

a flexible approach can be an excellent way to address the needs of the growing
