Some people think that the best way to reduce the time spent traveling to work is to replace parks and gardens close to the city center with apartment buildings for commuters, but others disagree. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

better.

For example

, they can walk to those places, sleep more in the mornings, and spend the

time

they save on enjoying their lives, which all result in their physical and mental health.

This

usually means a less commuting

time

and a better usage of land in favour of its settlers.

On the other hand

, trees are playing an increasingly important role in clearing air pollution and decreasing noise pollution.

For instance

, in developed countries trees are being planted along highways to protect the neighbourhood from air and noise pollution.

Consequently

, bringing people closer to city centres might be preferable to keeping gardens, but it suffers from the disadvantages that lead to making city centres even more polluted.

Therefore

, green

areas

are essential parts of cities that should not be demolished. To conclude, the expansion of living

areas

in downtowns by cutting down trees can reduce commuting

time

. Even though the importance of being close to work offices should not be underestimated due to the subsequent improvement of humans lives, I believe that the destruction of green parks can not be a practical solution because it contributes to the decrease in air quality.
