In many countries around the world, rural people are moving to cities, so the population in the countryside is decreasing. Do you think this is a positive or a negative development?

this
population in rural places is decreasing in many countries. I believe that it is a negative development
due to
the problems it can cause,
such
as overpopulation in

and nutrition problems in society.
However
, the development of countryside areas is important for the improvement of food production because the vast majority of rural

work on farms. If many

. Another reason why I argue that
this
situation is a drawback for countries is because the
cities
will be more overcrowded places and that will damage the world's ecosystem.
However
, in our modern world overpopulation is the main reason for air pollution,
for instance
, the usage of more cars in the
cities
is polluting the weather.
This
could be seen as a tiny problem by society but these types of problems can create a snowball effect.
For example

people
from the countryside to
cities
is a huge drawback and in my opinion, it should be considered as a negative development.
