More and more people are migrating to cities in search of a better life, but city life can be extremely difficult. Explain some of the difficulties of living in a city. How can governments make urban life better for everyone?

Recent decades have witnessed an increasing number of people migrating to metropolies in quest of a better life. This essay will discuss the main challenges of urban life and propose some workable remedies.

On the one hand, there are a number of problems derived from the exorbitantly expensive cost of living. Indeed, citizens are entitled to cutting-edge infrastructure and top-notch facilities, which correspondingly leads to the higher demand for tax income levied against individuals. Consequently, the economically marginalized and disadvantaged are financially uncapable of affording cities’s prohitive living expenses. Another problem is urban inhabitants’ higher susceptibility to medical conditions. No doubt, metropolitan residents are exposed to massive clouds of ozone-depleting greenhouse gas emissions released from fossil-fueled vehicles because metropolises typically accommodate enormous traffic volumes, which in turn leave them highly susceptible to a variety of physical and mental conditions such as cardiovascular disease and mental disorders.

Stemming from these issues, certain solutions can be embraced instantaneously to curb them. The most efficaciuos remedy is the government’s investment in rural development. In fact, if the government dedicated a large propotion of the state budget to social dwellings which could accommodate the growing demand of the urban population, which in turn proportionally mitigate their mounting financial pressure. The second workable approach is utilizing eco-friendly vehicles. Inner-city residents would switch from these emissions-intensive fossil fuel vehicles to carbon-free renewable energy alternatives such as electric cars and buses if the government imposed high taxes on gasoline and gasoline-fueled cars, this would reduce the massive clouds of (ozone-depleting) greenhouse gas emissions, rendering the air less contanminated. Consequently, metropolitan inhabitants would have a decreased risk of developing illnesses.

In conclusion, state-funded social housing and greener vehicle-based regulations can be workable solutions, even living in metropolies might be prohibitively expensive and health-relatedly harmful.
