Many cities are now turning parks and farmland into new housing developments. Is this a positive or negative development?

It’s true that there are initiatives from

cities

to transform public parks and farms into residential

areas

. In my opinion, I am in complete disagreement with

this

contention despite the ostensible advantages in dense urban

areas

. Those who argue

this

policy is positive, point out its effects on overcrowding in

cities

. In the

last

century, migrations rose significantly in urban

areas

which caused a numerous density in the number of citizens. And one of the best solutions for

this

is to enlarge the size of the city by exploiting other lands

such

as gardens and farmlands. Meanwhile, some

cities

such

as Tokyo and Mexico tend to use more sophisticated approaches to deal with the surging population capacity of designated restricts by spreading to neighbouring lands.

Consequently

, individuals are able to live in

cities

and enjoy higher standards of living, better healthcare, improved economic opportunities, and various entertainment options. For the average resident,

such

development is incontestably positive.

However

, new housing developments should not take precedence over human fundamental priorities.

Firstly

, turning gardens and farmlands to build new houses not only deprive the residents of recreation and natural lands but

also

necessitates the transportation of agricultural products from greater distances. And the worst-case scenario is to exacerbate environmental issues and potentially lead to inflated food costs for the average person.

Secondly

,

cities

that lack parks is not providing an optimal living environment for society members. For ,affluents

this

is less pressing since they may be able to make frequent trips to outlying

areas

all over the world. Whereas for the least privileged classes parks are considerably their only opportunity to experience nature and replenish themselves. in conclusion, regardless of the positives related to population density in

cities

, it is negative in the aggregate due to its effect on the natural environment and quality of life in

cities

.

Such

proposals should

therefore

be pursued in moderation.
