It is a good idea to have large public spaces in towns and cities such as parks and squares. Do you agree or disagree? Why?

There has been a controversy about whether

cities

should have those large public spaces,

such

as parks and squares. I would say it's necessary, and my reasons will be explained in the following paragraphs.

First

and foremost. Those large public spaces can propel the

city

's economic development. As we know, shopping malls are always located in the

city

centre; they represent the

city

's capacity to a large extent.

Therefore

, if there is a well-known shopping mall in a certain

city

,

then

the publicity of

this

city

is bound to increase, and it will attract more tourists.

As a result

,

this

city

can better develop. It's worth mentioning that shopping malls are extremely vital for some small

cities

or towns than megacities. Those big

cities

have already reached their bottlenecks, but for some small towns, it's a great opportunity to develop by building some shopping malls.

Second

, it's a good chance to establish a particular culture in the

city

. Take New York as an example. NY is famous for its time square, which can represent more than a single square.

For example

, it can give tourists a feeling that NY is the

center

Change the spelling

centre

show examples

of the world at their

first

glance, on account of numerous billboards in time square and all the skyscrapers. In

this

case, a large public space can exert an influence on people's minds.

Third

, it's advantageous to our bodies. Due to the growth of the human population, more people tend to live in

cities

;

in other words

, the number of cars will increase. As we know, a park has a lot of plants, like trees and flowers. They can absorb carbon dioxide and produce oxygen through photosynthesis. In conclusion, the merits of having large public spaces outstrip its demerits.
