Before you read
Discuss the following questions.
What do you think the main problems of big cities are?
What problems does your city have?
You’ll read two articles expressing different points of view on the problem of big cities. Read them quickly and tell your partner what they are about.
Megacities: two views
Megacity is a city with a population of five million and more.
The world’s population is not only growing, it is also becoming more urbanized. An increasing number of people are moving to cities in the hope of having a better life. The cities promise steady work and higher salaries. With more money, people think they can provide for their families more easily.
As the population becomes more urbanized, megacities are created. Yes, there are more jobs in urban areas, but is the quality of life better in these megacities? A quick survey of several major cities revealed some of their problems: pollution from auto emissions is poisoning the air; landfills are overflowing with garbage. With declining resources and growing competition, sometimes there is not enough food. These are all very serious problems.
We cannot get rid of megacities – they are here to stay. What we should concentrate on, however, is building “villages” inside the cities. These “urban villages” could be self-sufficient and grow their own food. The members of these villages would recycle and do very own little damage to the environment. The villages would serve the needs of local people, not big business. We need to limit large-scale development, not encourage it.
It’s true that megacities have problems, but these have been exaggerated. The truth of the matter is that people move to cities to escape their hard life in the country. Urban areas, even with their problems, offer people a better life than in rural areas. The old ways of life in rural areas have broken down, and it is now very difficult to make a living as a farmer.
People live longer in cities. Medical care is better there. And of course, employment opportunities can be found everywhere in the city. We should continue to develop city services so that people can enjoy their lives in the world’s urban centers.
Rather than limiting development, we should encourage it. Public transportation systems need to be developed so that people can travel to and from work and school easily. The more we clean up and develop our megacities, the more life will improve for their residents of those cities.
