Essay "Overpopulation of Major Cities" 08.02.18 Big cities always were an attraction for people where they could fulfill their goals and dreams and now major cities are faced with the situation of overpopulation. People are concentrated in blocks and apartment buildings and have become stressed over noise pollution and confined flats, it creates ecological issues as well. This is an important problem that is needed to be solved in order to unload cities and create more suitable environment for people to live. One of the reasons why people flock to urban centers is that most of the industrial and business parks are located there. So it creates a situation when only in these cities people could get a job that would have high probability of promotion and decent pay rate. Since many of these jobs are computer related, employers could provide employees with an opportunity for distant working, so they will have no need to travel or move to big cities. However, if a job could not be done from home many people prefer to move to big cities, rather than commute there every day. And it leads to the second problem that is connected with a poor transportation system that joins a city with its suburbs. In order to make it easier to travel from the suburbs or even from the outer parts of a city, the government should revise routs, timetables of public transport and build more suitable roads, so as a result more people would be able to live outside of city centers. And finally, people move to large cities because they have more developed entertainment, educational and health infrastructure. Outskirts and outer-ring regions are lacking that, so it causes people to look for a better place to live and in this case it is a large city. To make outskirts more appealing for people the government should create a plan for developing distant areas, this measure will not only make these regions more attractive, but would create more workplaces there as well. To conclude, because of an uneven distribution of business and manufacturing areas, major cities are faced with overpopulation and suffer from effects that it provides. To solve this problem, the government should develop distant parts and outer regions of cities to make them more attractive. Thus, it would unload big cities and create more suitable and comfortable environment both for people who live in cities and at outskirts.
