#people #city
Deciding on living in a
city
 is the most important question for the majority of people considering its geographical arrangement and other amenities available in the place. some people prefer to live in the flat
city
 which they consider best,while others go for the vertical
city
. in the
next
 paragraphs elaborate on both sides in-depth but I personally prefer to live in the horizontal
city
. vertical cities comprise skyrocket buildings, complexes and structures which try to accommodate the huge number of the growing populations in the small urban area.While accomodating dense ,population it gives birth to other problems like a traffic jam,air and water pollution as well as job crises and law and order issues.
Although
,
such
 arrangements give a roof to all eligible citizens but
also
 give lots of stress and somewhat compromise with safety and independence of movements due to nuisance from drug addicts and mafias.
Furthermore
 living in
such
 places is costlier compared to the same horizontal
city
. Horizontal cities constitute single-family homes,duplexes and small condominiums where density per square kilometre is very low compared to the vertical
city
.citizens are friendly and respectful to others and common property,law and order are always in place.
In addition
, no traffic issues and pollution at all.The work environment is less competitive and has peace of mind which make these places an ideal place for living. you can get more open space for activities like walking,playing and get-together while staying in the
city
. In,conclusion ,as discussed in the above-mentioned paragraphs living in the horizontal
city
 is superior to in the vertical
city
,economical as well as good for long-term health,that's why I opted for a horizontal
city
 rather than a vertical
city
.
