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?
Nowadays a large number of
people
are moving to big cities
and as a result
, the population of the countryside declines. I believe that it is a totally negative disadvantage due to
unfavourable circumstances that lead to harmful effects on humanity and the environment.
First of all, an increase in population in cities
inevitably leads to urban sprawl. Overpopulation is one of the biggest man-made problems in metropolitan cities
due to
the fact that a large number of people
move to urban regions. However
, it requires more living spaces, more schools and more working positions. Therefore
there are not enough of these parameters for all individuals. For instance
, the lack of parks, kindergartens and schools takes place in big cities
. In order to overcome these issues it is necessary to expand Ubran square which accordingly
leads to the deforestation of near regions.
Secondly
, air and noise pollutions take place in cities
with overpopulation. So that has harmful effects on humanity, which is manifested by an increase in different diseases. In particular
, heart attack and lung cancer result from traffic fumes and exhaust. Besides
, people
who live in cities
often have mental problems like depression, anxiety, frustration due to
stressful factors and noise pollution. As a consequence
, it is crucial to stop overpopulation in big cities
and increase the number of residents in rural areas.
To conclude
, I suppose that urban sprawl is a negative development because of a great deal of different man-made problems, and I believe that the government are able to cease this
difficult situation, making more comfortable living conditions for people
in the countryside.Submitted by aleskovamaria02 on
