notion. Both opinions have valid reasons which I will elaborate on in the following paragraphs.

To begin

with, the existence of several public gardens near the business district makes it hard for the apartment to build.

Hence

, most people would choose to live in urban areas which results in costly and timely commute.

Additionally

, on a daily basis, there are not many activities held in a public park, which brings an urgency that it is better to transform the area into a residents’ habitation area. To illustrate, in Jakarta Indonesia, there are more than four public gardens surrounding the business district that will not be utilized unless during weekends or national holidays. As consequence, more than half of workers in Jakarta spend on average two hours to get into the office.

Moreover

helps reduce pollution and emission coming from a bunch of vehicles during rush hour,

for example

are built near the skyscraper office. By way of conclusion, I believe that the benefits from having public

parks

are more than its drawbacks,

therefore

, the existence of a garden should be preserved. The government on the other side needs to improve the public transportation system,

hence
