Some people think that "vertical City" is the best, where people live and work in tall buildings. Others think that "horizontal" City is better, where there are few tall buildings. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Firstly

supply of land at a reasonable price, but they

provide ease of access to everything,

for example

Besides

, due to the fact that the majority of the community lives in a relatively small area, public transportation,

for instance

, buses and subways, can be designed more efficiently to move passengers around. The heavy use of public transportation, in the long run, will benefit the environment by improving air quality.

However

, despite the advantages above, I believe “a horizontal city” is more suitable for human

, particularly in areas where land is not scarce but vast and sparsely populated. With low-rise

Therefore
