Finally, we offer a solution, and then explain why this is an
important issue and why it needs solving… (‘because it affects the
quality of life’)
Something governments must improve, is transportation infrastructure,
in order to manage traffic volume. Many people commute on a daily
basis, so having efficient public transport is crucial in order to
improve quality of life.

The whole paragraph would look like this:
 
Living far away from work forces people to commute on a daily
basis, which contributes to the second issue, traffic congestion.
Traffic congestion has become a critical issue in several cities
worldwide. In Shanghai, for example, if you want to go from the East
to the West, you may end up spending seven hours sitting in your car
due to traffic jams. Something governments must improve is
transportation infrastructure, in order to manage traffic volume.
Many people commute on a daily basis, so having efficient public
transport is crucial in order to improve quality of life.
 
Body Paragraph 3
 
In this final body paragraph, we discuss the third issue and
solution in the same way as we did with the other two body
paragraphs…
Overpopulation and excessive traffic lead to pollution, which is the
third issue to be addressed. As a result of the high population density
in cities, air and water pollution issues are more prominent when
compared to rural areas. This can lead to numerous health risks and
can reduce quality of life. Local governments could encourage
residents to be more mindful of the environment through events and
information campaigns, for instance. Another possible solution is the
implementation of car-free zones. This initiative has already been
launched in several major cities worldwide, and it has had a
significant impact on air quality.
