In many places, new homes are needed, but the only space available for building them is in the countryside. Some people believe it is more important to protect the countryside and not build new homes there. What is your opinion about this?
It is considered by certain individuals that in spite of the need to build new houses, the
countryside
should be protected from such
constructions
. In my opinion, shelter is one of the basic needs and with proper planning, can construct homes
in the countryside
without causing much damage to it.
With the fast-growing population
, the demand for new residences is rising drastically. The major cities
are becoming overcrowded and there is always limited space for new constructions
. Moreover
, people in cities
need to have some free spaces that include parks, gardens , shopping malls, etc, For example
, at ,present there is a high population
density in cities
such
as Mumbai, Chennai in India, where no room for new constructions
. As a result
, it is not advisable to keep on building new homes
in the City. In addition
, it will increase the pollution level in the city and adversely affect the health of residents.
As a solution ,building new homes
in rural areas
should be motivated. The majority of spaces in the countryside
are still unused and if they can be converted into residential space, it will ensure the fair distribution of the population
and will help to reduce traffic congestion and pollution in the cities
. However
, there should be a proper plan to conduct new constructions
in the rural areas
, with minimal damage to the environment in the countryside
. For instance
, instead
of building horizontal villages, they can build vertical villages. As a consequence, it will keep the majority of the land untouched.
To conclude, today urban areas
cannot cater for the rapidly growing population
. Therefore
, it is required to use lands in the countryside
to build new apartments for the increasing population
. Hence
, I believe building new homes
in the uncultivated areas
of the countryside
is necessary but construction plans need to keeping mind the preservation of the beauty and purity of those areas
