In many countries, city planners locate offices, schools, homes and shops in certain areas so that they are seperated by distance. Do you think the advantages of this practice outweigh the disadvantages?

Urban planners in most nations around the globe are promoting

city

designs where accommodations, learning institutions, stores and office blocks are located in specific

areas

at a distance from other parts of the metropolis.

Although

this

can lead to increased traffic jams in

such

areas

, I believe that the merits of

this

arrangement prevail over the noted setback as it encourages concentration and helps in organizing the cities. Increased road congestion is a major demerit of siting organizations

such

as

offices

or

schools

in specific parts of a metropolis.

This

is because during peak periods a lot of people head towards that particular part of the town.

Consequently

, they will be car hold-ups leading to a waste of time and accidents.

For example

, cities all over the world experience traffic jams in

areas

where

schools

are located during the morning hours and after closing , as parents converge to drop off or pick up their kids.

However

, I believe

this

is a bearable setback when compared to the enormous benefits of

this

arrangement.

Nonetheless

, there are several pros to the mentioned

city

design.

Firstly

, it allows for uniformity, which in turn aid in the

overall

proper setup of the town.

That is

to say that, when stores are sited in a particular part of a

city

, it enables shoppers to easily locate what they want to buy.

Secondly

, having

schools

in an area a distance from where stores and

offices

are sited will ensure that the students remain focused. By having

such

arrangements, we are assured that the noise and fanfare that surrounds shopping malls and

offices

will not distract the students.

For example

, most

schools

in Japan are sited far from

offices

and malls, and Japan's Ministry of Education believes that it is the main reason why their education system is hugely successful.

Therefore

, I believe that the pros as mentioned far outweigh any perceived demerit. In conclusion,

although

having

offices

,

schools

, people's homes and shops in certain

areas

within a

city

can lead to traffic congestion, I think that the advantage of allowing students to learn without distractions and the

overall

organisation of the

city

far outweigh the setback.
