city
 due to various reasons.
Firstly
, Cities are easily accessible for a common man for basic amenities like healthcare, shopping mall and transport system. Any individual having any illness in the
city
 can reach the hospital within no time and get treatment as compared to town, where it may take many hours.
Secondly
, It is near to our workplace, so we can reach the office on time.
Also
, we can find here better education facilities for children.
In addition
, food lovers can find here
lot
 of new cuisines and restaurants.
On the contrary
, It carries a
lot
 of drawbacks.
Firstly
, most of the people living here are having a sedentary lifestyle, which leads to adverse consequences on health.
Secondly
, large metropolitan cities are having polluted environment, which includes foul gases from vehicles, industries and noise pollution. It is not easy to live in

city
 with increased living expenses.
Also
, we found a
lot
 of household wastes here, not seen in rural areas, which

 adds to environmental pollution. In the way of conclusion, in spite of the pollution and overcrowding issue, I still believe that it is more appropriate to live in the
city
 because of more available jobs, good healthcare and easily available grocery stores.
