More and more people are migrating to cities in search of a better life,
but city life can be extremely difficult.
Explain some of the difficulties of living in a city.
How can governments make urban life better for everyone?
In today’s society, there is an increasing number of people
move to live in urban area in order to look for a better life. In
fact, city life may lead to get more obstacles than in country
side. From my perspective, I belive that there are several
reasons that city life bring difficulties to people, and
governments can give some solutions make urban life better for
everyone.
Life in city has its drawbacks. Firstly, the cost of living is higher
than rural area. Housing, accommodation expenses are really
expensive. Therefore, homelessness and poverty are common.
There is a gap between the rich and the poor. Moreover, urban
areas have many issues about higher crime and more poverty
rates compare to rural areas. Furthermore, some people do not
manage to find work because of these competitive chances.
Cities life lack a sense of community. Thus because neighbours
do not even know about each others. As a result, living in city
can be extremely stressful.
However, there are several solutions that government can
make urban life better for inhabitants. The first step is that they
could invest money in building, such as social housing to reduce
the cost of living. Therefore, city life will be easier for people
because they do not pay for high prices for accommodation.
Another step is that government should increase job
opporturnities in the countryside such as farming, construction
industry, traning local people… this can reduce the
unemployment rate and limit the movement to big cities. All of
this options should be performed in order to reduce the
pressure in big cities.
In conclusion, there are some aspects that living in city can be
stressful. Yet, government can certainly tackle a range of
measures to improve the quality of city’s residents.
