Some people believe that the government should invest more to the

countryside to solve overpopulation in major cities.

To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Nowadays, overpopulation in metropolises has concerned both the authorities and

residents. A number of people claim that public investment in the countryside
should be increased as a way to deal with the problem. While I agree that the
aforementioned intiative is a great method, I believe that other ways should also be
considered and implemented.
To begin with, it is crucial that the state invest more to the rural areas to resolve the
overpopulation problem. Firstly, that investment can be used to attract a large
number of people from major cities. Since many people choose to reside in
developed cities for job opportunities and facilities, creating more jobs and
improving the infrastructure with the help of financial support from the state will
encourage people to move away from large cities. Secondly, investing in rural
areas can help improve the quality of life for those living in the countryside, which
can help reduce the pressure of overpopulation in cities. For example, when the
transportation and housing system are improved, more people will be motivated to
live in the countryside and only travel to cities to work for about 8 hours a day.
However, I still believe that the government should also implement other policies
simultaneously. First, they should promote sex education throughout the country. If
the youngsters are aware of the danger of overpopulation and how to deal with that
in a safe way, the population can be controlled on a national scale, thus reducing
the number of inhabitants in major cities. Second, it is advisable that the
availability of affordable housing in cities be increased. This method can
effectively solve the overcrowded situation in those cities since people are no
longer crammed in certain areas.
In conclusion, while I accept that the state should provide more investment for the
countryside, I still believe that other ways should be implemented to address the
overpopulation in major cities.
