91.In many countries around the world, rural people are moving to cities, so the population in the ocuntry side is decreasing. Do you think this is a positive or a negative development?

It is argued that in many nations, an increasing
number
of individuals are moving from rural areas to
cities
.
This
essay will argue that
this
is a completely negative development because
this
will cause an increase in the
number
of unemployed
people
and
also
it will reduce
air
quality because of the increasing
number
of transports.
This
development causes overpopulation in
cities
. It will be more difficult to find a job because there is an increase in the
number
of
people
that are looking for work in the city centre. Since there is a limited
number
of companies and work vacancies in the region, there are more
people
unemployed and suffering from hunger and poverty.
For example
, in the
last
years, when Chinese
people
decided to leave the countryside, they expected to have a better life in town, but when they got there, they couldn't find a job. Transporting
people
and products causes worse
air
quality. Normally, factories and big companies are situated in the countryside or far away from the city centre, but, if
people
decide to move to
cities
, they have to travel longer distances to get to their job, and
this
, increases
air
pollution.
This
is because vehicles emit carbon dioxide and use fuel, which both cause contamination and decrease the quality of the
air
.
For instance
, because of the large
number
of vehicles that are on the roads every day in Pekin, it is very difficult to see a clear blue sky, since the
air
is completely contaminated. In conclusion, the decrease in population in the countryside and the growth in the
number
of
people
in
cities
is a negative development because more
people
are unemployed and it increases
air
pollution.
