In many countries, people are moving away from rural areas towards urban areas. Why do you think that is? What problems can this cause?

Moving away from rural areas towards urban zones is becoming increasingly normal in many countries. A huge number of people are choosing big

cities

to live in in order to improve their life´s quality.

This

essay will explain why populations are moving to

cities

and how

this

can affect the

city

's public services.

To begin

with, most rural societies choose to move away because they seek a better life standard that cannot be achieved where they live. The main cause is that in urban zones, the amount of hospitals or health-care attention centres is much more than in the countryside.

Also

, the quality is better because of the fact that it is easier to get medical supplies.

For example

, normally if someone has an accident in a

city

, an ambulance normally would need around 15 to 20 minutes in order to arrive at the place while in the rural areas the delay can be up to more than one hour.

Hence

, the probability of getting faster health care is higher in the

cities

than in the countryside. Something

that is

important to consider is that an overcrowded

city

can create serious problems for the residents as a consequence that some of their public services may collapse . All

cities

are prepared to hold a certain amount of population, when those numbers are surpassed delays in the transportation system or in the medical centres start appearing.

For instance

, the subway system from the

city

where I live, Buenos Aires, can transport 150 persons between stations every 10 minutes. When I started using it two years ago, I always got in the

first

car that arrived,

nowadays it's normal that I have to wait
