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 doing sports outdoors.
The cities’ authorities are trying to overcome these problems. However, they still have a long way to go
before they can reduce living costs and pollution and increase green space to make all cities in the world
more livable places.

Street. People also take their children to visit Buckingham Palace, where the royal family lives, and the
