In many places, new homes are needed, but the only space available for building them is in the countryside. Some people believe it is more important to protect the countryside and not build new homes there. What is your opinion about this? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

As cities expand their territories, rural areas shrink because of new homes and buildings. It is believed that these lands should be protected since they are important for economic and societal aspects,

Furthermore

Thus

, major cities are better off leaving space for agriculturalists. 

Secondly

, establishing more buildings outside a city entails cutting down trees, which are habitats for a huge variety of animals.

Thus

, the practice of expanding lands by using forest areas should not be incorporated since it ruins the biodiversity of a local region.

Moreover

, trees store carbon dioxide and produce oxygen, so cutting them down will lead to a negative impact on human health because more people will inhale contaminated and polluted air.

Instead

, metropolises could have enlarged in uninhabited steeps since it does not harm anybody.

This

is a widespread practice in Astana, where the megapolis widens by occupying more steep acreage.  In conclusion, megacities should not enlarge by using other regions' territories because it will harmfully influence the export of meat and agricultural commodities from rustic regions.

Moreover

, enormous megacities are better off omitting cutting down the woodlands since it ruins local biodiversity and contributes to air pollution.

Nevertheless

, uninhabited steeps are the best places for building new houses.
