The population of many cities is growing rapidly. What are the effects on people living in these cities? What can be done to maintain the quality of life of people?

Along with

the rapid development of the global economy, the attraction of

cities

is more and more visible to the community in every part of the world.

As a result

,

people

have the tendency to move to large metropolises to pursue their careers and settle down. That movement causes some problems, including

pollution

and deterioration of living standards.

This

essay will point out some issues and propose some feasible solutions for the above topic. The most notable effect of an increasing population in the

cities

is

pollution

. To be more specific, it damages the air with smoke and carbon dioxide from vehicles of new citizens which

also

brings with them noise concerns not only from the streets but

also

from the dense households.

Moreover

, the more

people

, the more disposal is generated which, if cannot be completely solved, will cause a lot of problems to the surrounding area including land, water, etc. The

pollution

, in the end, will affect the community's health and reduce their quality of life. The second negative effect is the deterioration of living standards in the

cities

. With the unchanged area of land, more

people

mean less free area for recreational activities. Populous

cities

also

mean fewer job opportunities and fewer educational opportunities for lower-income groups.

Furthermore

, the frequency of traffic jams will

also

increase and more time will be lost on the street which not only affects

people

’s morale but

also

their income. In terms of solutions, overcrowding can be solved by the expansion of the

cities

toward suburban areas. Buildings and facilities can be relocated out of the city centre to attract more

people

moving out. The government should

also

take part in the process to limit

pollution

by setting regulations on the maximum number of vehicles possessed by a person or encouragement of electric vehicles.

Moreover

, they can expand and upgrade garbage collection and disposal processes to serve increased demands and at the same time enact regulations to protect the environment. In conclusion,

although

a crowded city may cause a series of issues with suitable and timely solutions, the prosperity it brings will definitely outweigh the troubles.
