Some people think that housing facilities should be built in the vacant areas of cities and towns, while others believe that parks should be set instead. Planting trees is very important for the environment. Do you agree or disagree? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
Nowadays, more
people
have been living in the cities
due to
job opportunities. Additionally
, cities
provide a wide range of health services and education facilities. More buildings need to be built due to
the increasing population
of their cities
. To provide enough accommodation for increasing demands, housing facilities have been built in vacant areas
in the cities
. Some people
discuss whether empty areas
in their districts should be filled with concrete buildings. They believe these places should be used as parks and planting trees. My idea is between these two points. I will give my reasons why I am thinking in this
way.
Proper accommodation should be provided for the population
. Housing is a major issue for everyone. All people
deserve to live in proper places. Therefore
, the construction of houses is a must for municipalities and it is not possible to avoid it. Therefore
, new facilities can be only in empty areas
. In addition
, rent fees will be higher and this
situation can negatively affect all societies. However
, people
also
need parks and leisure areas
to spend their time with their families. All of the citizens also
need green areas
to decrease their stress levels. Parks and trees are the best options to increase the air quality of their places. Nevertheless
, pollution has been increasing with the population
, industry and traffic. Clean weather conditions and a healthy living environment are other mandatory needs for the population
.
Therefore
, I believe that accommodation needs and green environment requirements can be provided via proper urban planning. In conclusion, municipalities should create their own plans which obtain meet both sides of society's needs. This
is a convenient way to demonstrate their interest to their citizens.Submitted by nilufer.korkmaz on
