Some people think it is more important to plant trees in open areas of towns and cities than to build more housing. To what extent do you agree or disagree.

As modernization and civilization have been processed,

people

need more houses and buildings. In response to these needs, a lot of housing is built at the moment.

However

, the positive effects of planting

trees

in open areas of

towns

and

cities

outweigh the benefits of building more housing.

First

of all, I believe that

plants

can relieve the stress of residents in

cities

and

towns

. A lot of

people

feel stressed and frustrated in the

city

which is packed with high-rise buildings.

Also

,

people

are likely to have a sedentary lifestyle nowadays.

However

, green areas with

plants

give residents time to escape from complex

city

life and give places to move their bodies.

For instance

, Han River parks and Seoul Forest parks are always crowded with

people

who want to enjoy the picnic and get close to the natural environment.

This

is why it is necessary to plant

trees

in the

city

and villages. Another reason is that green

plants

can function as air purifiers in the

city

.

In other words

, sufficient

plants

can purify bad air by absorbing carbon dioxide and giving us fresh oxygen. The

towns

where many

people

live are filled with bad air coming from cars and factories.

Thus

, planting

trees

in open areas of

towns

and

cities

are more important and required than building more housing. To sum up, I reckon the value of planting

trees

are bigger than building more housing in

cities

and

towns

because the benefits brought from

plants

are very huge.
