In many countries around the world, rural people are moving to cities, so the population in the countriyside is decreasing. Do you think it is a positie or nagative development?
With urbanization, the traditional face of cities has changed, and more and more
people
have abandoned their villages in order to find better jobs and have a good quality of life in urban. Thus
, this
trend leads to vacant suburbs. In this
essay, I will determine both merits and demerits of this
revolution and clarify why it is a negative development.
The first and perhaps the most significant advantage of migrating individuals to urban areas
is the accessibility of those people
to amenities and facilities that do not exist in their homeland. To begin
with, migrants have better career opportunities because there are more job vacancies in metropolises. For instance
, it is estimated that job opportunities are almost three times more in megacities compared to rural areas
. Moreover
, the number of schools, scientific institutions and universities is
noticeably more in the urban Change the verb form
are
areas
. To illustrate, based on the survey conducted on people
moving to cities from rural areas
in 2020, immigrants pinpointed education as the main reason for their decision. Therefore
, leaving rural areas
has had some benefits for the public.
On the other hand
, suburbs without any residents have affected human beings negatively. First of all, moving to rural areas
means that the agricultural workforce would decrease, and in the long term, agricultural products would fall considerably. In addition
, one of the most important parts of every culture would be demolished, since people
in the countryside play a vital part in preserving cultural heritage. For example
, Abyane which is located in the centre of Iran is empty of inhabitants and their traditions such
as their language and costumes are in danger of extinction.
To sum up
, based on the arguments cited above, in my point of view, the drawbacks of this
trend outweigh its benefits. To restrict this
trend, it is the authorities' responsibility to not focus on urban areas
, and invest in suburbs to motivate inhabitants to stay there.Submitted by m.jalili1993 on
