In many cities, planners tend to arrange shops, schools, offices, and homes in specific areas and separate them from each other. Do you think the advantages of this policy outweigh the disadvantages?

Planning of

cities

is an important factor affecting citizens' daily-life. Many

cities

around the globe chose to separate

areas

according to their function

such

as: shopping

areas

, working

areas

and living

areas

. While

this

way of city planning may end up creating calmer

neighborhoods

for the citizens, I would argue that disadvantages outweigh the advantages. One good rationale behind separating shops, offices and homes is to create more quiet and safe

neighborhoods

. If places that are flood by hordes on daily basis

such

as shopping malls, behemoth office skyscrapers, loud schools will be established away of accommodation facilities,

neighborhoods

will be purified from unnecessary visitors making them better place to live in.

On the other hand

, I believe that

such

policy may contain more harm than benefit for several reasons.

Firstly

, isolating shopping

areas

and workplaces may result in higher traffic congestion. Especially during the rush-hour, when everyone will have to commute to their jobs.

Secondly

, with no local shopping centers in the neighborhood, people may be forced to cut long distances for essential daily needs like grocery. Ultimately, the population imbalance between different

areas

of

cities

, and traffic congestions resonating from afore-mentioned reasons will be a source of air pollution.

Thus

, all these factors will deteriorate the quality of living in the

cities

embracing

this

policy. In conclusion, despite the acceptable aim to create nice and calm

neighborhoods

, I strongly believe that accumulating facilities of the same category in specific

areas

will cause more serious damages

such

: traffic congestion, inconvenience in reaching basic needs and environmental damages.
