Why do some people prefer to live in big cities?
Some people choose to live in a metropolis because of the advantages it can offer.
First of all, there are more job opportunities in large cities because of the high population density. For example, restaurants require more employees to serve their customers and hospitals hire more workers to meet the needs of the city. The next benefit is better facilities such as private schools, modern hospitals, and advanced public transport systems which improve the quality of life for citizens.

Air pollution in our country is one of the most serious environmental problems, and many major cities are affected by it. It is responsible for many health-related problems among citizens and kills many people every year. And high volumes of traffic and the large number of industrial zones near these cities make the situation worse every day.
