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 multiple countries around the globe,
people
who live in rural areas are moving to urban cities, causing a declining trend in terms of the countryside population. Personally, I believe that it is a great and positive development for two reasons.
To begin
with, people
moving to the city
can reduce the human damage to the local natural environment. As people
are moving away, there will be less air pollution caused by cars emitting greenhouse gases and less water pollution caused by toxic shower lotions and sewage. After all the people
are moved away from one place, the earth
will activate its self-repairing feature, making the environment healthy again. For example
, I watched a video about an expert using a computation model to predict how the earth
will look like if humans disappear, in the video he mentioned the earth
can heal itself but it is not possible to happen if humans still exist.
In addition
to saving the earth
, the movement of people
from rural areas to urban areas helps the city
to increase its international competitiveness. If there are more people
moving to the city
, meaning a rising number of labourers and workers. Companies can hire more labourers to work for them, to produce more products and export them. As a result
, the GDP of the city
will be dramatically increased. For instance
, Taipei City
's GDP increased drastically after the international workers settled in, which shows the potential increase in GDP if rural people
come to the cities.
In conclusion, I would argue that the trend of rural people
moving to metropolis is an optimistic development as it can reduce human damage to the natural surrounding and raise the global competitiveness of the cities.Submitted by maokaiyi0423 on
