In
urban life, people get quickly exhausted by commuting, because it is hard to
endure how busy the passengers in the public transportations. Or, even if they
have their car, they tend to stick in the road a few hours. In that
perspective, some people might think that building more houses or accommodations
is essential than keeping city gardens or parks. However, I mostly can't
entirely agree with the latter as follows.
On
the other hand, some people spend their lives while packed with strangers on a
subway or bus, which influences negatively on the quality of people. In recent
research, scientists prove that the commuting time correlates to the level of
happiness. It is hardly ignored by the fact that people quickly get depressed
and stressed out by lacking leisure time.
On
the other hand, a city with greenery places renders people healthy, mentally
and physically. Strolling with dogs helps the owners increase mental fit by
reducing the level of stress. Also, gardens and parks in the centre of the
cities reduce a high level of CO2 and Carbon Dioxide coming from the cars on
the roads. Since plants function as an environmental filter that alters Co2 or
CO into O2, the greenery areas in the cities make the air much cleaner. In the
longer term, those facilities keep the citizen healthy.
In
conclusion, I believe that protecting parks and gardens in the city is much
more crucial than increasing the number of living places. This is because it
has a high possibility of sustaining people's happy lives mentally and
physically. |
