Q. Some people believe that the best way to reduce commuting time is to replace parks and gardens near the city center with commuter apartment buildings, but others disagree. Discuss both perspectives and give your own opinion?

In developing nations, especially in large cities, some believe that governments should restore public spaces to offices or buildings to solve traffic congestion and save travel time, while others take a different view. This essay will analyze the advantages and disadvantages of this considered issues for drawing conclusions.

It is undeniable that the replacement of open spaces, such as parks or squares, with metropolitan ones is beneficial for residents of the center. Firstly, the main reason can be called saving time. Obviously, employees typically spend at least two to three hours a day commuting to work, instead of spending that precious time on other creative pursuits such as learning a new language, painting, or exercising. Secondly, no transporting to workplace definitely helps protect our friendly habitat. Driving short distances not only prevents a large proportion of gas emissions emitted into the atmosphere by private vehicles but also significantly saves transportation costs. Additionally, the government is not necessary to pay millions of dollars for gas treatment processes.

On the other hand, although the recreational space removal plan has its economic benefits, it also affects people's healthy lifestyle and living environment. Without parks and gardens, stressed staff or overworked students cannot enjoy such active outdoor exercise and games with their friends and children. As a result, they find it difficult to balance their busy lives and may cause some chronic diseases such as blood pressure or heart disease. Accordingly, this renovation certainly harms our environment in various aspects.

In conclusion, I believe that there is a wide range of effective methods to deal with traffic congestion by creating a better system of road construction or reducing carbon emissions through the use of environmentally friendly electric vehicles, as well as public buses, since the replacement of green parks and gardens with skyscrapers still contains both positive and harmful effects.
