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?

In recent years, there has been a new trend in global population growth with an increase in urban populations and a decrease in rural populations. I believe that

this

issue has a detrimental effect on our community. In

this

article, I will discuss the issues of urban traffic congestion and rural labour shortages in order to support my position.

Firstly

, as the urban population grows, traffic congestion intensifies, impacting travel efficiency.

For example

, when I lived in the centre of a city, a destination that was only 20 kilometres away from my home took almost an hour to reach by car.

In addition

, the severe urban air pollution caused by population concentration is

also

considered to be a significant issue. So,

it is clear that

cities face numerous challenges including poor road conditions and environmental concerns.

In addition

, rural

areas

around the world are facing labour shortages, which leads to inefficient development. Especially in rural

areas

, there is a high probability that facilities cannot be developed efficiently

due to

the lack of specialists who specialize in engineering.

Additionally

, accessing customer service can be difficult

due to

the lack of young individuals with advanced technology and clear communication skills in remote

areas

.

In other words

, these factors hinder progress in rural

areas

. In conclusion, the recent trend of people moving into cities to improve their quality of life may lead to traffic congestion and air pollution.

Moreover

, in terms of its rural impact,

this

trend is likely to impede regional development.
