When new towns are planned, it is important to build more public parks or sports facilities than shopping centers for people to spend their free time. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

When planning new towns. Building a number of public parks or

facilities

for sports is way more significant than shopping malls for citizens to spend their leisure time. I totally agree with

this

approach as it benefits civilians to mention their health and

, it is found that people living in that area were free of airborne diseases, asthma, and cancer. In conclusion, building shopping centres may have lesser benefits than

fitness

facilities

and parks as it is evident that people are staying fit and healthy, where there are

such

facilities
