These days, more and more of us are living in big

cities

, and urban conurbations are expanding all the time.

Although

cities

are very attractive places to live, there are

also

a host of significant

problems

such

as the high price of housing and transportation

as well as

deteriorating air quality. To combat these

problems

, I see a role for the government to supply affordable housing and improve public transportation in

centres. One of the biggest

problems

facing

people

who live in

is high property prices. In many

cities

, buying a house near the centre is out of reach for those on an average salary, and they are forced to live outside the

. To tackle

this

problem, the government could put more resources into building affordable housing, which would allow more local citizens to buy their own

This

is a tried and tested method which has the effect of increasing supply and

resulting in cheaper housing for all. Another issue is traffic and air pollution. Most big

cities

are overrun with

cars

, and there is a great deal of traffic congestion. The exhaust fumes from these

cars

cause air pollution, and as a consequence , more and more

city

dwellers are suffering from respiratory diseases,

such

as asthma.

This

problem could be addressed by introducing a congestion charge for

cars

entering the

centre, thereby cutting the number of vehicles on the road.

Such

measures have already seen success in

cities

such

as London, Stockholm and Milan.

Finally

Linking Words

, another problem is the quality and cost of public

transport

Use synonyms

.

That is

Linking Words

to say, in most capitals, public

transport

Use synonyms

is inefficient and the infrastructure is old and inadequate. At the same time, ticket prices are often too high, which puts

people

off using public

transport

. The way forward must be to invest more money in trains and buses
