In many cities, some planners have located shops, schools, offices and homes in specific areas, which are widely separated from each other. Do you think the advantages of this policy outweigh the disadvantages for residents?

In metropolitan

areas

, it is common to witness an attempt to optimize land utilization by modifying the city's layout.

This

involves the segregation of essential establishments like shops, schools,

offices

, and homes in designated and extensively separated regions.

Although

this

may have some benefits, I believe the disadvantages overshadow the advantages. On one hand, concentrating on specific

offices

or industries and relocating them may enhance efficiency, provide convenience, and guarantee the

residents

' well-being.

For example

, shifting manufacturing industries from residential

areas

to remote suburban regions could reduce the incidence of respiratory illnesses among citizens.

Moreover

, inter-company collaboration would be more accessible, minimizing the need to transport raw materials and end products,

thus

diminishing the carbon footprint.

Furthermore

, if governmental

offices

are centralized into a single service complex,

residents

would have greater autonomy and convenience in dealing with municipal affairs.

On the other hand

, clusters of infrastructures harbour far more risks than benefits.

To begin

with, the gathering of communal facilities of the same type,

such

as shopping centres, could lead to congestion in certain

areas

, decreasing traffic efficiency and increasing the accident rate.

Additionally

, if factories providing services related to

residents

' existence are located intensively, they may become less resistant to sudden changes. In the event of accidents striking their location, the entire city's well-being is jeopardized.

Furthermore

, when houses,

offices

, and schools are widely dispersed, working parents may find it increasingly challenging to maintain a balance between their responsibilities as both parents and employees. In conclusion, it is necessary to isolate manufacturers from residential

areas

and centralize municipal services to promote healthier and more convenient lives for the

residents

.

However

, in general, there are more drawbacks to separating infrastructures far from each other.
