Nowadays, all new town planning should include public parks, shopping malls and sports facilities. Do you agree or disagree with this statement?

Planning and development of new townships lately have made it compulsory to include public

facilities

such

as shopping malls, parks and sports

facilities

. Some people think it is a positive trend while others think

otherwise

. In my opinion,the approach is generally good but it will need to include other

facilities

especially

schools

and healthcare

facilities

.

First

of all,

this

kind of planning is very organised and structured, and it is very convenient for the residents to get their daily needs fulfilled.

Furthermore

, they can save time and money if these

facilities

are built nearby their houses. Parks,

for example

, not only are great places for local communities to gather and socialise but they

also

provide a superb venue for group activities like picnics, local runs and school outdoor programmes which help to foster relationships among them.

Besides

, gyms, basketball courts and running tracks in close vicinity will encourage people to be active,

thus

, producing a productive population. Other than that, shopping malls provide job opportunities and serve as an attraction to outsiders.

On the other hand

, I think the government should include other public amenities,

for instance

,

schools

and medical clinics, as education and healthcare are among the most important aspect of our lives.

Moreover

, if children attend

schools

near to their houses, parents can have more quality time with their offspring as they do not need to rush to commute to school.

Ideally

Add a comma

,Ideally

show examples

medical clinics should be included to provide primary care to everyone, even though their set-up might be costly. In conclusion, optimal city planning ought to include

schools

and medical clinics in order to provide education and medical care to the residents.

However

, if it can not be achieved,

then

I strongly believe it should consist of

facilities

for sports, parks and shopping malls.
