How will the rising cost of fuel change our cities in the future
Our way of life is starting to chang due to the increased cost of fuel. If this
continues, cities will be very different places in the future.
As fuel will be expensive, people will not use cars as much and cities will be
less polluted. More people will walk or cycle, and consequently, citizens will
be fitter and healthier. Furthermore, cities will be safer for their citizens due
to the small amount traffic. For example, children will be able to play
outside safely. In addition, there will be fewer accidents. Finally, because of
the price of fuel, consumer items such as clothes will cost significantly
more. City-dwellers will, therefore , spend less time shopping and more time
relaxing outside.
In conclusion, the high cost of fuel may have a positive effect on cities in
the future due to the fact that there will be fewer cars in the streets, which,
in my opinion, will make them cleaner, safer and more pleasant.
