Many major cities are facing a housing crisis as they cannot provide enough land for new buildings. Some local governments believe the problem could be solved by reassigning park land for residential development, because this land would be better used for housing. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Many regions in the world have limited areas for residential. Some governments emphasize that the

is to diminish the parklands and build residential over them.

Due to

this

fact, I wholeheartedly disagree with

this

solution

Use synonyms

because it could affect the benefits of open

for the environment.

Firstly

, open

spaces

in the urban areas could reduce

air

pollution in the cities because many plants are growing there. There are many plants that could absorb toxic materials in the

could be reduced.

For instance

, in Surabaya, Indonesia, the government expanded a park that contains many trees which could absorb the

pollution and it is proven that the percentage of pollution in Surabaya decreased within a few years.

Secondly

, another

solution

to the housing crisis could be solved by building apartments that could conclude many households rather than rebuilding the parks. The apartments could be built with huge capacities for people

while

the amount of area to build the apartments is smaller than a house for each household.

For example

, a 300-meters cubical apartment with 10 floors could contain 30 households

while

normal houses for 30 households would need 3 hectares.

Therefore

, diminishing the parklands is not the best

solution

for the housing crisis.

To conclude

, removing the parklands and changing them with new buildings would decrease the benefits of open

that are needed in the cities. The benefits of open

Due to

these facts, I emphasize that the housing crisis should not be solved by changing the lands with new buildings.
