Due to
 the limited job opportunities in the rural areas, most of the villagers choose to leave the village and move to the cities in order to get a better quality of life.
As a result
, because of the limited capacity of the city - which could not fulfil the needs of unplanned migration from the villagers, it becomes overcrowded. To solve
this
 problem, a certain group of
people
 believe that building a smaller number of high-rise buildings will help.
However
, others claim that constructing more
low-rise
 buildings could be the better choice to answer
this
 question. As I accept the point of the first idea, I personally agree with the latter statement.
This
 essay will try to explain the ideas.
People
 who come from rural areas and choose to work in cities need a place to live.
On the other hand
, the urban citizen
also
 needs a place to live. Considering the city's area which is limited, it seems like landed housings are not qualified to address
this
 problem. Later, the authorities come up with another solution, namely vertical housing. There are two types of vertical housing, namely
low-rise
 and high-rise housing. In my opinion,
low-rise
 housing will be the more suitable option for the government to help the overpopulation for some reasons.

the social life of the

 who live there.
People
 who live in the lower-rise building have a higher probability to meet each other than the one who live in the higher-rise building.
Hence
, the neighbourhood could build a deeper connection to help each other when in need. On the other side, it should not be avoided that high-rise apartments have more capacity than condotel or flats.
While
 lower-rise buildings could only accommodate 50-60 families, high-rise apartments could accommodate ten times higher, so it is more efficient to fulfil the needs of the public who live in the cities.
To conclude

 as flats and condotels to overcome these issues.
