As a result of growth in some urban centres, the environment in those cities is deteriorating. How could this issue be tackled by both the government and individuals?

Urbanisation in city centres of both developed and developing countries is slowly deteriorating the air quality of cities, and measures need to be taken to try and reverse

this

change. In

this

essay, we shall look at different ways that government and the citizens can contribute to putting a halt to

this

worrisome trend. Alternately, what the government needs to do, is to strengthen the public transport sectors, impose heavy fines on the number of

vehicles

a family can posse, and

in addition

, they must thrust onto the public fines for using

vehicles

after a certain hour.

Furthermore

, they should encourage local bicycle businesses, by creating more bicycle lanes and parks, which will in turn help to boost their business. Car manufacturers, must look into the possibility of producing greener cars, and slowly phase out the production of petrol and diesel

vehicles

. Once

this

happens, more and more petrol stations will cater to the new requirements by vehicle owners. These are some of the changes that the administration can enforce The natives

on the other hand

can make the conscious effort to switch to public transport systems. Electric

vehicles

may be a bit costlier than the normal petrol or diesel

vehicles

, but we must try and make the move for the sake of the environment. People must

also

invest in solar panels for their houses so that they can avoid the use of boilers and heaters. In conclusion, it is detrimental to solve the ever persisting problem of air pollution,

however

, we must remember that for

this

to be nipped in the bud, everyone, the governments, and mankind need to do their part.
