The population of countries are increasing tremendously over the years, and many free spaces
such
as parks most times are left without being used. Some individuals do not see the need for places like
this
to be converted into apartments to accommodate the growing populace but I agree with the fact that there is a necessity to provide more accommodation for people to provide shelter and security. On the one hand, there is increasing use of vehicles due to more citizens migrating to the cities and
therefore
they use cars to commute to various places. The need to have a car parking area in most organizations will double assist vehicle owners to park their cars and free a less need to worry about their safety.
Also
, recreational
areas
go a long way to help the working class humans to unwind as they have had a very busy schedule during the week, these localities are essential for that purpose. To illustrate, the UBA bank of Nigeria's director has made sure that all his branches have a large land for parking alongside a company-owned restaurant for staff to relax and eat.
On the other hand
, modernization is the order of the day as people leave the rural
areas
for the urban in search of greener pastures
such
as Employment, valuable education and lifestyle, there is a high rate of people living on the street of big cities because of lack of accommodation leading to the need of the government and other authorities to convert these places into residential
areas
for the increasing population.
In addition
,
this
can help in ensuring safety to the citizenry as it secures them from harm to the environment as the rate of miscreants in these cities is growing daily leaving the homeless at risk of being robbed. To exemplify, in 2018, the president of Ghana Nana Affo-adu built more apartments in the circle area which was previously a parking space for both functional and faulty vehicles and
also
chopped down the woodlands close to the country's biggest university ( university of Ghana) where student formerly use to have their barbecue stand
also
for the purpose of erecting more shelter for the homeless. In conclusion, regardless of the fact that car parks and recreational centres are imperative in urban
areas
, the safety and shelter of the homeless in the country should not be overlooked.
