Advantages
and disadvantages of living in the city centre
The life in
the city center has its own advantages and disadvantages.
I consider
that the main advantage is the transport accessibility. It is easy to get to
any place throughout the city. You don’t depend on traffic jams and you can
reach your office or school quickly. The main places of interest of your city
are nearby of your place. So you can visit a museum or a theater whenever you
want.
But the are
some disadvantages as well. Ecological situation is poor in the city center
because there are too many vehicles and too few trees there and the main parks
are situated in the outskirts of the city. The infrastructure is not well-developed
in the city center as well. You have to walk for a long time to get to your
local clinic or your post office or your bank office and so on. The department
stores are quite expensive in the city center. There are plenty of chain stores
and farmers’ markets in the city but most of them are located in the outskirts
of the city and the people living in the city center have to buy food far from
their place of living.
As for me, I’d
prefer to live in the city center because I like to walk there and watch the
old buildings and I can spend hours just walking through the historical center
of the city.
