The world is changing drastically with the development of infrastructure and technology, so developing and developed countries expand their construction building in vast areas.
However
, the construction is done in cities creating
houses
 according to the flats method and building
houses
 to spread around the
land
. I believe, building
houses
 in taller
buildings
 is the best solution for various factors
such
 as environmental preservation and economic growth. The following essay will explain the aforementioned views with examples. Building
houses
 in sky-scrapping
buildings
 will be advantageous for the environment because if the
houses
 are built in vast areas the number of trees cut down is enormous,

.
In contrast
,
houses
 which are built on huge
land
 provide enough space for more than 3 families to live, which is a negative effect on the government and real estate owners. Where
people
 won’t buy many
houses
. Encouraging
people
 to live in flats or tall
buildings
houses
 will enhance the economy of the country, due to
people
 buying more apartments, where one family is able to live in one apartment. Imagine 3 families used to live in one house, now prefer to buy three apartments
this
 will be a great benefit for the country. To conclude, cities creating taller
buildings
 for housing not only protect the environment but
also
 enhance the economic growth of the country.
