It is commonly thought that living in cities is very arduous. One of the many issues people living in cities suffer from is the severe traffic congestion, which is not only tedious and dispiriting but also detrimental to getting to places on time. Another stumbling block is the air pollution. As the number of private vehicles increases, the more carbon dioxide (CO2) is discharged into the air. This leaves city dwellers more prone to lung cancer and respiratory problems compared with people living in rural areas.

In truth, some measures ought to be taken to resolve these issues. One of these should be that the money allocated by local authorities should be used to play a better role in mitigating migration waves. More investment should also be made in public transport, such as buses and trains to help foster growth and keep residents from investing in more vehicles that pollute the air. In addition, urban policymakers should encourage residents to use electric vehicles as a substitute for gasoline vehicles in order to limit the amount of CO2 emission.

In conclusion, while there are various negative aspects of city life, appropriate steps need to be taken to tackle traffic jams and air contamination, not only by governments but also by individuals.
