People living in large cites today face many problems in their everyday life. What are these problems? Should governments encourage people to move to smaller regional towns? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Nowadays, hundreds of houses and apartments are mushrooming, especially in large

cities

.

This

is because of the facilities prevailing in a metropolis, like easy access to supermarkets or hypermarkets, entry to famous schools, colleges and universities, and access to nearby hospitals and clinics, amongst others.

However

,

along with

the benefits, communities of large

cities

are

also

facing several problems in their day-to-day life. These problems shall be discussed in the next paragraph. There has been a surge in noise, water and air pollution ,especially in large

cities

.

This

is because there has been an increase in the number of people coming to live in big downtown during the

last

few years leading to a rise in the use of transport like cars, and buses that cause air deterioration.

Consequently

, pollution is causing many health issues like cancer.

For example

, Mumbai, one of the largest

cities

in India, has been experiencing an increase in air and water pollution

due to

overpopulation,

hence

, thousands of inhabitants are experiencing various types of diseases.

In addition

, many families are living in poverty even though they are living in big

cities

due to

limited resources like access to housing. In my opinion, the government should try to tackle

this

issue by encouraging folk to move to smaller

towns

. The state should try to provide several types of facilities in smaller

towns

also

so that the population are encouraged to live there,

for instance

, by constructing good quality roads, hospitals, and schools. The government can try to pursue investors to invest in smaller regional

towns

thus

creating employment. All these measures can be beneficial for smaller regional

towns

and inhabitants would be happy to live there.

To conclude

, it is true that today people favour large

cities

to settle down rather than large

cities

.

However

, if the state will try to provide the same facilities in smaller regional

towns

then

some percentage of inhabitants would prefer to move to live in small

towns

.

Hence

, large

cities

should face fewer problems than they are going through nowadays.
