Today, the quality of life in large cities is decreasing. Discuss the causes and solutions.
It is true that in this era of modernization, the qualitative aspects of life have certainly 
degraded as far as people living in cosmopolitan cities around the globe are concerned. 
Several factors are responsible behind this shattering quality of life among city dwellers and 
definitely some steps by government and communities can be taken to address this 
problem.
There are many reasons behind this growing concern. Firstly, pollution as well as traffic 
congestion is increasing in urbanized areas with the burgeoning of transportation vehicles 
which results in detrimental emissions of poisonous gases and unhygienic surroundings with 
population growth in cities by virtue of which it becomes difficult for authorities to deal with 
these and maintain cleanliness, thus it give rise to health ailments with reduction of life 
expectancy among city dwellers. Secondly, decline in interaction among urban people is 
another noticeable issue as individuals often fail to communicate effectively because they 
generally live in their own isolated world and most of the people are unable to exude 
feelings or emotions towards each other which creates sense of insecurity among them. 
Finally , cost of living is pretty high in metros and due to these exorbitant property prices, 
natives always find it hard to have decent accommodation within budget and most of them 
are forced to live in small homes or rented apartments which is a kind of restrictions where 
they cannot enjoy laxity. 
However, these issues can be resolved with some planning. First and foremost solution is, 
regime should limit the influx of migration of people and should focus on improving 
employment opportunities and development of infrastructure in rural areas by dint of which 
people will not feel any need to shift their place of residence which will halt the urbanization 
which ultimately will uplift the living standard. Moreover, money collected by the taxes 
should be utilized properly by civic authorities and they should build better roads, flyovers, 
and work on improving quality of public health care which would definitely ease the traffic 
congestion in cities and if people will get proper medical attention, their health standard 
should be enhanced. Last but not least, substantial implementation of sustainable energy 
sources should be there in automotive sector and government should think of replacing 
petrol, diesel vehicles with hybrid cars and electric vehicles so that urban areas can be 
pollution free and natives can achieve better quality of life. 
In conclusion, even though modern facilities are readily available in urban areas, quality and 
moral standards of life are deteriorating rapidly due to variety of reasons, but these 
problems can be solved to a great extent if the government and the residents take 
concerned actions.
