Task 2
Many cities are now turning their park and farmland into new housing developments. Do you think this is a positive or negative development?
Owing to a massive exodus of rural people to large cities, many mega cities are converting their parks as well as farmlands into new housing estates in order to prevent homelessness. Positive as it may seem, I personally believe that it is a change for the worse.
On a positive note, the construction of new residential areas in lieu of parks along with farmlands yields better results. One of them has to do with dealing with homeless people. Since many villagers tend to migrate to urban areas in search of a better lifestyle, they are prone to facing a number of problems, especially homelessness. Thus, the erection of new homes can be the best remedy to sort out this issue.
On the other hand, building such developments can pose some threats to an urban population. This is because constructing new houses is sure to result in both air and noise pollution which is a growing concern of city dwellers these days, not to mention problems caused by cars. Urban life, as a result, can be damaged severely, prompting many residents to move to suburbs or small towns.
While acknowledging the benefits and drawbacks of building new houses at the expense of parks and farmlands, the negatives this trend brings about should also be taken into consideration. As parks are regarded as an entertainment place both for children and adults, they should be maintained, since it can be an optimal entertaining spot where both demographics can go and spend some quality time. As far as farmlands are concerned, they are an indispensable part of both urban and rural population. The rationale for this is all people heavily depend on dairy products, certain crops as well as fruits and vegetables, all of which are products of farmlands. Were it not for farmlands, the humanity would experience famine – a pressing issue.
To conclude, even though erecting new housing developments instead of parks and farmlands may sound positive, I am still of the view that it is an undesirable turn of events due to the reasons mentioned above.
