Over the past few years, discussion has centered on whether moving enterprises and factories to rural area can deal with traffic and housing issue. Some people strongly support this approach, while others hold the opposite view. Personally, I am inclined to disagree with transport and resident problems will be resolved by this method.
On the one hand, those proponents who champions industrial and commercial relocation believe that the root cause of traffic congestion and housing shortage is the insufficient space of city. As industrial and commercial areas tend to occupy tremendous spaces of city, causing that the road become more narrow and the housing price become more costly. Thus, on the surface, resetting the firms and factories to countryside seems to be imperative for alleviating traffic and housing issue.
However, on the other hand, this perspective fail to acknowledge the potential flaws associated with it. Above all, the presence of industrial factories is detrimental the environment and ecosystem of rural area. This is owing to the fact that industrial factories usually generate a large number of gases emission and exhaust fumes, posing a threat air condition and animal habitats. Studies demonstrate when ecosystem collapse, humans will find themselves in the struggle and finally extincted. Moreover, widening the distance between the resident and commercial areas is more likely to lead to the higher costs and more lengthy time for commuting, since employees have to go to more remote area for working. Thus, relocating the factories and companies is a risky method, which potentially have negative impacts on the whole world.
In conclusion, while the relocation of enterprises and factories can be reasonable to some extent, it still presents numerous challenges and hazards as a whole. For a prosperous society, the key is to foster a balance between city development and nature protection.
