It is important for all the cities and towns to have large outdoor public spaces, such as parks or squares. Do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

Many an environmentalist is of the view that having giant open public arenas

such

as gardens or parks have become mandatory for every single metropolitan city or developed area.

This

essay totally agrees with

this

statement as these free locations not only will act as a

stress

-buster for working people but

also

will render

children

with play-area and elderly with gossip space. To commence with, public gardens have become a basic necessity to cut down the

stress

of the hectic life of

adults

. To elaborate, all the

adults

are working in enclosed spaces in their whole day- be it offices, homes, which at times become the reason for the additional

stress

. In fact, the archaeologists in Rome, when tried to figure out the reason for the punishment of dark jails having no source of light found that

such

spaces add

stress

and depression to culprits,making their life hell to live. The availability of outer areas for the public nearby their homes gives

adults

a chance of a morning and evening walk ,thereby packing them up to tackle the burden of the

next

day. Not far behind are the young

children

and elderly who are going to be benefitted from the erection of gardens. Owing to the development of posch areas and multi-storey buildings,

children

are left with no choice other than playing in the streets where vehicles can come and go at any time. Not only

this

people in sunset years are

also

feeling a sense of alienation in the well-developed colonies as they did not have any place to chat with their agemates and can enjoy their time.

For instance

,the majority of elders are not happy , residing with their working offspring in flats in Chandigarh, the capital of Punjab,in India.

However

,the presence of a public park facilitated with swings and seating arrangements can solve the problem to quite an extent. Notwithstanding

this

,there is a section of society that believes that

instead

of erecting open areas and decorating them with beautiful plants and shrubs,the council should develop skyscrapers in that area in order to meet the ever-rising demand of overpopulation.

Although

it is not entirely untrue,

this

land congestion would ultimately increase the

stress

level ,

therefore

will reduce the quality of living for which megacities are known .

For example

, the living standard of Delhi, a city of India, declined due to the construction of giant buildings. In conclusion,open spaces in metropolitan cities help

adults

to live a

stress

-free life, provide

children

with a good space to play and give chance to old people to mingle with their friends to avoid boredom.
