As greater number of people move to cities, and as cities expand in size, city life loses it’s appeal. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Urban areas, world over, are facing a growing influx of migrants; thus overcrowding them and causing diverse and steep challenges to surface. This has indeed led to a disenchantment among people from city life. This opinion is, however, is not supported by some. Life in cities do not enjoy the same reputation they had a few years ago since the an ever rising urban population has resulted in a persistent disarray, which is making it harder for the urbanites to experience comfortable living: they find themselves longing for a view of open skies and green surroundings in street canyons dominated by concrete constructions. Any attempts made to ease this burden results in an urban sprawl, which is predisposing city dwellers to great travelling distances, longer commuting times; and hence stress. Moreover, life in cities does not fascinate many nowadays; it has been eclipsed by the rising costs of living and subsistence. People residing in urban locations must part with a huge a chunk of their earnings to pay for housing and other essentials, like food and clothing. This leaves them with little savings; thus eroding the benefits of shifting to urban locations. Having said that, life in cities will continue to ignite fascination, as some profess. Metropolitan areas have employment opportunities galore, and people from a cross-section of skills, can easily find work in their respective occupations. Besides this, these locations afford people access to quality education, both basic formal tuition and advanced university system. This can help many plan a secure future for not only themselves but also for their children. Henceforth, I feel, despite many quoting reasons for their opinions about city life losing its shine, metropolises and their lifestyles will continue to enchant, and push more and more to relocate to cities
