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

.
