Living in a Big City Living in cities can have many positive aspects compared to rural life. The cities have more opportunities for the people as compared to a small town. So I prefer to live in big cities. Especially in China, inequality does occurs between rural and urban areas. Rural people often lack access to education, health care, and most forms of insurance. Quality education, physical well-being, and healthy social relationships are also problems. Living in big cities can give easy access to transport, hospitals, supermarkets... Delivery service is also convenient. You have a better chances of getting jobs. Because of these benefits, most of the world’s population live in cities now. According to Demographia, in 2017, there were 102 Chinese cities with over 1 million people in the "urban area". An overcrowded, polluted city with too many people living in it also cause health problems. Do you live in a big city?
