Some people believe that living in a horizontal city is the best, while the opponents of this idea prefer to settle in a vertical city. // While there are benefits to residents who dwell in a city which consists of low-rise construction, I would argue that cities with skyscrapers and high-rise buildings offer more advantages.
On the one hand, it is beneficial for residents to live in a horizontal city based on a few financial and security reasons. Firstly, people have to pay less for building services. // If residents settle in a private house, they may save a great deal of money since they won’t have to pay for building services. Secondly, living lower to the ground is safer for inhabitants when emergencies occur. // For example, if a fire starts in the home, they can quickly escape from the dangerous areas because the building is not too high off the ground and it won’t take much time to leave
On the other hand, it seems to me that living in a vertical city is the best choice. One reason is that a city with skyscrapers will have more space for public usage because there will be less land used for residential areas due to the amount of people who can live in high buildings. // As a result, the government would be able to use this land to build hospitals, schools or places for entertainment. Furthermore, it is much more convenient for residents to live in an apartment in a tall building // This is because of the fact that these buildings offer a wide range of goods and services, thanks to shopping malls and service centers on lower floors.
In conclusion, while living in a horizontal city does have some benefits, I believe that the advantages of life in a city with skyscrapers makes living in a vertical city the better choice.
