Some believe that traffic problems in cities can best be resolved by investing in urban infrastructure while others feel there are superior solutions. Discuss both sides and give your own opinion.

It is argued that one of the best solutions to address the issue of rising

traffic

problems in

cities

Use synonyms

is by investing more in urban

infrastructure

Use synonyms

;

however

Linking Words

, some say that we should come up with better strategies to deal with

this

Linking Words

challenge. In

this

Linking Words

essay, I will outline that the proposed solution of

infrastructure

Use synonyms

investment will have a marginal impact on

this

Linking Words

issue;

therefore

Linking Words

, a more effective solution can be implemented through decisive

Government

intervention. Indeed, more

infrastructure

Use synonyms

in urban areas can bring some positive changes. One key reason

people

Use synonyms

travel to the

cities

Use synonyms

is for better employment prospects.

For example

Linking Words

, the head offices of the Big 4 accounting firms in most countries are in high-rise buildings in the big

cities

Use synonyms

and generally offer higher salary scales than offices in urban areas.

Hence

Linking Words

, while increased development in these areas may mean more facilities and better public transport, without lucrative and equal paying jobs,

people

Use synonyms

would still travel to the

cities

Use synonyms

looking for higher-paid work.

Hence

Linking Words

,

this

Linking Words

does not fully alleviate the

traffic

Use synonyms

congestion in

cities

Use synonyms

. Alternatively, through strict

Government

Use synonyms

regulations, the number of

cars

Use synonyms

travelling to

cities

Use synonyms

can substantially decline. The

Government

Use synonyms

can consider imposing high taxes or surcharges to discourage

people

Use synonyms

from driving to

cities

Use synonyms

. One approach,

for instance

Linking Words

, can be implementing a pass system with a reasonably high charge that drivers have to pay to take their

cars

Use synonyms

to the

cities

Use synonyms

.

Hence

Linking Words

, if

people

Use synonyms

find it reasonably uneconomical to pay these extra charges compared to using other means of public transport (

such

Linking Words

as trains or buses), they will decide against driving their

cars

Use synonyms

to the

cities

Use synonyms

.

This

Linking Words

will lead to a reduction in

cars

Use synonyms

in

cities

Use synonyms

that cause

traffic

Use synonyms

problems. In conclusion,

infrastructure

Use synonyms

investment will offer some benefits in dealing with

this

Linking Words

issue to some degree.

However

Linking Words

, it will not be effective and sustainable unless the

Government

Use synonyms

legislates regulations to control the inherent

traffic

problem in

cities

.
