MODEL ESSAY ‘Today many people have a predisposition to migrate to metropolises where earning 2 livelihood is far more effortless than in the countryside. The objective of this essay is to analyse some difficulties of city life as well as providing suggestions for policy ‘makers to make urban areas worth living for everyone. City dwellers generally have to be confronted with varous issues. The main drawback of urban life is that the cost of living is always significantly higher than in rural areas, Migrants who are not in good financial shape must often expend almost all their monthly wages on accommodation, transport, food products, public utilities and many other petty expenses. In addition to expensiveness, plenty of large cities have a contaminated air environment, mainly resulting from motorised vehicles and industrial estates. For example, recent statistics have shown that the air pollution index in densely populated cities such as Beijing (China), Jakarta (Indonesia), and Hanoi (Vietnam) is way above the safety threshold. Thus, the intention to exchange the peaceful life in the countryside for a new hustling and bustling one in metropolises should be given careful consideration. In order to ameliorate the quality of city life, | claim that the measure governments could take is to implement policies which give a boost to the provincial economic growth. By doing so, a substantial number of city inhabitants will relocate to adjacent provinces with more affordable prices and fewer social maladies. More specifically, the state could provide financial aid packages, or lower taxes for enterprises which make investments in country areas so that not only would more ‘employment be generated but residents’ average monthly remuneration here would also experience increases. It is thanks to this balanced development that population density in urban districts will be markedly lower, and so such issues as pollution, traffic congestion, housing shortages can all become less grievous. ‘Although city dwellers have to face quite a few problems at present, | believe that in the long term the above measures can put a new face on metropolises.
