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? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience. Write at least 250 words.

Nowadays, rural

individuals

in different countries around the globe are relocating to major

cities

,which leads to a significant decline in the population of the countryside.

Although

it may bring several advantages, the negative implications of

this

outweigh the positive aspects of moving to the

cities

. In

this

essay I am going to outline some of these difficulties and provide reasons, alongside some examples of

this

phenomenon in my country will be provided.

To begin

with, when

individuals

move to the major

cities

, they cause many issues not only for the government but

also

for themselves.

In other words

,

this

has an adverse effect on the local businesses and may lead to going bankrupt, or cause recession there as the population in the countryside falls.

In addition

to

this

, overpopulation in major

cities

could impact the housing rate directly.

For instance

, in my country, over 3 million

individuals

have moved to Tehran, the capital of Iran, in the past decade.

Nonetheless

, the number of houses and apartments has not changed, apparently.

Therefore

, the housing rate soared dramatically, forcing middle- and lower-class families to move to suburbs to find proper accommodation to live in.

Consequently

, they spend more time commuting. The implications of overpopulation are not limited to these aspects. The welfare and the level of hygiene in the major

cities

will be affected over the period of time. Governments around the globe are required to allocate a considerable proportion of their budget for the new issues in major

cities

rather than being used for tourism infrastructure, providing basic amenities in other towns in order to increase the welfare of other families living in the towns and countryside and boost local businesses. Apparantly, in my country, folks outside of major metropolians, are suffering from the lack of drinking water, basic amenities and poor education.

To sum up

,

however

moving to the urban areas from rural ones could benefit the folks in some respects,

for example

, accessing a wide range of technology and better health care, not only will it adversely affect rural areas in many aspects of life, but

also

those who have moved to the big

cities

. From my point of view, the best method to implement is to provide facilities for rural

individuals

and governments need to boost local markets to prevent

this

phenomenon from happening or at least alleviate

this

issue. In

this

way, both rural and urban populations could benefit and the quality of their lives will be enhanced in many ways.
