IELTS Writing Practice. One of the major problems that face today’s governments is creating enough satisfactory houses for their increasing populations whilst still trying to protect the environment. Discuss this statement and give your opinion.

Nowadays, the world population is increasing at a fast pace over the past decade which leads to a scarcity of space to build
houses
. The government should take necessary measures to create enough satisfactory
houses
for the population and still can protect the environment.
This
essay will discuss measures to protect the environment and build
houses
for people in the forthcoming paragraphs.
To begin
with, the government should build residences without cutting a single tree. They should build vertical
buildings
rather than single
houses
. It will help to save space. In vertical
buildings
, if there are 16 storeys
then
16 families can live in these flats. Nowadays, people are moving from
desert
places to cities to get good jobs. I think the government should develop
desert
places by establishing offices and making new flats in the
desert
. It will help to reduce pollution in cities and
desert
places will be utilized.
Moreover
, there will be no need to cut trees to make mansions for citizens.
Furthermore
, most countries have opted for
this
option.
For instance
, a decade ago, United Arab Emirates introduced a new project in which
buildings
are built in deserts. Earlier, nobody was interested and they thought their project will not succeed. But now, more reputed company's
buildings
are situated in the
desert
.
In addition
, they made skyscrapers
buildings
which really give magnificent look to the city. To conclude, new dwellings can be built without cutting trees. They can build vertical properties and
also
can establish new companies and flats in the
desert
area.
