Some people think living in big cities is bad for people’s health. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

It is believed that living in metropolitan

cities

negatively affects the

health

of

people

there. In my view, I indeed agree about the fact that being a city dweller might badly impact the person physically and psychically. Some

people

hold that the urban population's well-being is at risk which is related to many environmental issues, mainly air pollution.

In other words

, vibrant

cities

are very well known for their traffic jams and the presence of factories, meaning a higher level of toxic gases being released into the air that directly affects the person's respiratory system.

For example

, the urban population is more likely to suffer from respiratory diseases

such

as asthma which is can be attributed to the factories' released smoke that irritates the respiratory tract of predisposed patients.

Hence

, some

people

are connecting the fact of living in a big city to possible

health

issues.

Moreover

,

people

living in megacities often adopt a lifestyle that put them under constant pressure that sometimes becomes unbearable affecting them psychologically. There is intense competition when it comes to finding a job in

such

cities

, so

people

there, find themselves obliged to impress their employers in order to keep up with their expectations, which is overwhelming most of the time.

Furthermore

, the expense of living in large

cities

is

also

an added pressure, particularly for young adults who still struggle to secure a job.

Consequently

,

people

in big

cities

are in a constant stressful state which affects their mental and physical

health

. In conclusion, some

people

deem that the

health

of city dwellers is threatened by residing in

such

areas. I think that many environmental and psychological issues do indeed affect and put the well-being of the megacities' population at risk.
