IELTS WRITING TASK 2 - DIRECT ESSAY- SHIVANI KAMOJJALA
Overpopulation in many urban centers around the world is a problem. What are the causes of this? How can this problem be solved.
Today, more than 50% of the population live in the cities and this is expected to increase to more numbers in the upcoming decades. Urbanization trend is growing rapidly these days because cities are attracting youngsters with wide range of oppurtunities. The causes and the issues caused by this are further explained clearly in the essay.
Firstly, the two main reasons why people from rural areas moving to towns are unemployment and unprofitable agriculture in the villages. In recent days,farmers are facing huge losses because of various factors and unable to clear their debts, they are selling their land which is their only source of income and to earn a living are immigrating to cities and are working as labourers in various construction sites. With regards to unemployment, getting jobs in hamlets is less likely when compared to metropolitan areas, so most of the graduates are moving to towns to secure an employment which inturn increases the crowd in cities.
Finally, in cities, we get everything that is needed to live a comfortable and happy life which is fascinating for many people to migrate to cities. All the top universities are located in cities, so students after completing their secondary schooling are moving to cities for higher education. Not only these but there are also many factors for the mass movement of public to urban centers.
Is urbanization a threat for society, if yes, what are the possible measures that are to be adapted? The answer to the above question is yes, rapid growth of urbanization is certainly a threat to living because this leads to many environmental issues like pollution, scarcity of resources, deforestation, climate changes etc. The best way to solve this problem is 'sustainable development'. Sustainable living is the process of living in cities without affecting the future generations. This can be achieved by employing a user-friendly interface where one user helps the other in need. Car-pooling, donating, planning awareness campaings, conservation of energy and power are some of the steps to be implemented. In this increasing technology based society it is a difficult task to restrict people from moving to cities so sustainable development will be a greater idea to compensate for the ill effects of urbanization.
