Twenty years ago, people tried to leave the suburbs for cities but nowadays many people are
reluctant to make such a move. They say that compared to suburban areas, city life has many
drawbacks.
The high cost of living is the first disadvantage. The bigger the city is, the higher the living cost is.
Accommodation and petrol are expensive. Food and drinks are also pricey. Apart from that, city
people seem to suffer from more noise and air pollution. The densely populated neighbourhoods,
busy traffic, and big construction sites make cities noisy and dusty. These are harmful to people's
health, such as increasing their stress levels, disturbing their sleep and making them suffer from
breathing problems.
Lack of space is another drawback of city life. House prices are high in the city, so people tend to
live in smaller houses or in apartment blocks. Many cities lack spaces for outdoor activities;

therefore, teenagers often hang out at shopping malls or in entertainment complexes instead of

the world more liveable places.

Many studies have emphasised the importance of physical health in preventing anxiety and
depression. There is a strong connection between the mind and body. All of us can make simple
changes to our lifestyle to add in more exercise, healthier eating, enough sleep, and exposure to
sunlight. Research on exercise has shown that it positively affects mood. Physical activity helps
