More and more people are migrating to cities in search of a better life, but city life can be extremely difficult. Explain some of the difficulties of living in a city. How can governments make urban life better for everyone?

It is true that nowadays,

people

are looking at

cities

as a place to grow, but living in

cities

comprises some burdens as well. My own view,

however

, is that governments can do much more to help

cities

' citizens. A multitude of difficulties can be cited about living in megalopolises, one of which could be

air

pollution. To be more precise, in searching for better occupational opportunities, many

people

come to large

cities

, and

therefore

, the number of cars increases, which undoubtedly results in producing exhaust fumes.

As a consequence

,

people

in large

cities

usually have to cope with

air

pollution. Perhaps another hardship of living in a metropolis is its household expenses.

In other words

, due primarily to the lots of requests for renting or buying houses, the price of houses usually has an upward trend. Not only that but

also

because of transportation expenses,

people

often have to buy goods at higher prices than suburbs. The above arguments notwithstanding, governments could offer several potential solutions to untangle or at least reduce the aforementioned difficulties. One possible approach could be offering better public services. In broad terms, with higher-quality public transportation, probably,

people

would use these

instead

of their cars;

hence

, the chance of having better

air

to breathe would definitely increase. By way of example,

due to

the proper public transportation in London, the

air

quality is still high, even with the large number of

people

living there. Another possible consideration is increasing the production of goods. In doing

this

, not only would

people

be able to buy products easier, but they could

also

save money in order to buy or rent houses. In conclusion, even though living in megalopolises is endowed with some obstacles, my firm conviction is that governments are able to mitigate these problems by adopting appropriate solutions.
