Some people believe that airports and bus terminals should be constructed outside the cities while others believe that these facilities should be built within the city centers. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

Traffic

congestion and rising

noise

levels have become significant concerns in urban environments these days. It is often argued by some people that airports and

bus

stations

should be built away from residential spaces

while

there are those who desire these facilities in the heart of the

city

.

This

essay will examine both sides of the argument, before reaching a logical opinion. On the one hand, the supporters of the proposition that transport amenities should be constructed outside the cities believe that these facilities are the leading cause of higher

noise

pollution and

traffic

blockage in urban regions. To elucidate, the level of sound emitted by vehicles and aircraft causes stress to people and often disrupts their sleep. To exemplify, the Transport Minister of Singapore, in a recent interview, stated that

noise

levels have reached 65 decibels mainly

due to

high-pitched sounds released by vehicles, and

this

has resulted in loss of sleep and loss of concentration among the citizens.

On the other hand

, it is widely suggested that air

and

stations

should be available within the

to commute if

services are built far-flung from the megalopolis. People, in that case, will have to endure

stations

.

For instance

, Japan, with the best transport infrastructure in the world, has constructed these facilities inside the metropolitan areas and even controlled the sound level to as low as 60 decibels. Clearly, building

such

conveniences in the middle of the cities is indeed beneficial for individuals. From my perspective, it is better to build airports in the hinterlands and

To conclude

,

although

building shuttle services and airports inside or outside the populated regions has its respective benefits, I believe both should be located in different places, with runways outside the
