More and more people are migrating to cities in search of a better life, but city life can be extremely difficult. Explain some of the difficulties of living in a city. How can governments make urban life better for everyone?

Nowadays, there is an influx of more and more people migrating to cities in search of a better

life

.

However

,

city

life

can be extremely difficult due to high standards of living, pollution and traffic congestion while navigating the streets. In

this

essay, I will discuss and analyze with the help of relevant examples some of the difficulties of living in a

city

and how the governments can make urban

life

better for everyone.

Firstly

, one of the most widespread problems of migrating to the cities from the suburban towns and villages is the high cost of living.

For instance

, most

city

dwellers either rent or own their houses and they have to take various loans and mortgages because the cost of renting an apartment for a family could be quite pricy.

Moreover

, another problem of living in the

city

is the associated air pollution which contributes to low air quality due to more cars using cheaper fuel.

Furthermore

, comparing

this

to the villages which have picturesque lakes and mountains while

also

having fewer fast-paced cars and public transportation.

In addition

to

this

, traffic congestion in cities could

also

lead to stress and irritation for drivers.

In other words

, people in the

city

are less friendly or cautious of strangers compared to the suburbs. In order to make

city

life

better, the government could take a number of measures by making those new to the

city

pay fewer taxes so that they could better adapt to

city

life

.

Secondly

, the state could improve the air quality index by limiting the number of vehicles commuting on certain days and encouraging the use of eco-friendly fuel namely electric cars and public transportation.

In addition

to

this

, they could regulate transgression by ensuring a safe environment for school children. To give an example, traffic at peak hours could be reduced by the construction of more flyovers and bridges in the

city

. In conclusion,in my opinion,

although

city

life

can be extremely difficult for those who have recently migrated, there are various incentives and welfare schemes that the government could offer to its residents to ensure a high happiness index.

Thus

with better healthcare, better wages and less crime, there would be happier newcomers to the metros.
