The increasing number of urbanization has experienced significant grow in the past few years. In my opinion, I believe this phenomenon would pose negative impact to the society.
First and foremost, the rising population of cities would result in poor living conditions. Due to the limited space for people to live, the price of housing would be hard to afford for a number of people. Forcing them to live in cramped houses, which decreases their quality of lives. In addition, more population would also put greater pressure on the environment. With more vehicles around the city, it not only increase air pollution bit also noise pollution. Living in a such compacted environment would make people’s lives uncomfortable.
In addition, the growing number of city dwellers would lead to the lack of labor in rural areas. Since it is evident that young people would go to big cities to seek for more opportunities for their career. As a result, children and the elderly would be the ones that are left in remote areas. These people are notable to serve as workers in the factory or on the road. The lack of labor means it would be hard to improve infrastructure and maintain local business, which increases the gap between cities and rural areas. Therefore, rural area would have the possibility to suffer in poverty.
In conclusion, though some argue that cities could bring more opportunities and convenience. I believe that individuals moving to cities would decrease their life quality and also increase the gap between rural and urban areas.
