Do you prefer living in an urban or rural area? State your preference and give reasons to why you feel that way?

#area
In the era of globalization, people have to choose their place of residence either in
city
 centres or countrysides. Personally, I would opt to dwell in a metropolitan
city
 as it suits my carrier and offers many benefits. In
this
 essay, I will elaborate my view for selecting an urban
area
 for accommodation.
Firstly
, the nature of work plays a major factor while deciding a place to settle. Downtown areas offer blue colour jobs and are home to corporate offices. In my case, I have a Post Graduate Diploma, in Product Designing, and megacities like Mumbai or Banglore hold more opportunities.
On the other hand
, my chances of getting a job in a rural
area
 are less likely as most professions practised are cattle breeding or farming.
Secondly
, With the growth of global cities,it brings many facilities on your fingertips. A well built up
area
 enables a variety of business to concentrate in a small location
this
 convenience can make a great impact on your lifestyle.
For instance
, for my day to day activities, there are grocery shops that are 2 minutes away; A multi-specialist hospital is 15 minutes away; and an airport 30 minutes away. The ease of access can never be available in a remote
area
. To summarize, to reside in a
city
area
 or far from town can bring a lot of difference in your life. As my profession demands working in a corporate house and numerous facilities available in the
city
, I would prefer
such
 an environment for personal growth and wellbeing.
