Some people think that in order to solve trafic and transportation problems people should be encouraged to live in citeies rather than in suburbs or in the countryside. To what extent do you agree or disagree

Nowadays, congestion is the most concerning problem in every society.

While

many people find the solution to traffic problems in exhorting people to move to urban areas from rural ones, I believe that increasing the population of urban is not a proper way to deal with

this

problem.

To begin

, encouraging the folks to leave their land might cause several obstacles,

such

as a lack of parking places and job opportunities downtown.

Therefore

, the rising population might increase the unemployment level, and

instead

of decreasing transport congestion or motivating the community to use public transportation, increasing the number of individuals

as well as

vehicles might lead to unresolvable problems.

For instance

, in Turkey, most individuals tend to migrate to a metropolis, particularly Istanbul, with the hope of having better living standards.

In contrast

, they are disappointed in not finding any workplace, and at the same time, as the citizens tend to use their private cars in most cases rather than public transport, it is a foregone conclusion that the crowd in parking places will hit up.

Secondly

, the migration of locals might threaten planting and farming

in other words

agricultural industry.

Therefore

, it is obvious that the main cities depend on the countryside in terms of food supply. In these circumstances, a destructive decrease in crop production might cause extra expenditures for the country. To illustrate, in Turkey, in the

last

3 years, food prices have gone up by 25% because of

such

uncontrollable migration to downtown areas.

Consequently

, as the production was not sufficient to supply the metropolises with food, the government was obliged to allocate a large amount of its budget to provide it from abroad. In conclusion, despite the claims that motivating locals to leave their land can tackle the congestion issues, I strongly believe that the huge number of humans flowing from rural areas to metropolises will increase the unemployment level and will affect the countries' budget negatively in the long term.
