BÀI MẪU IELTS WRITING TASK 2 BAND 7.5

Đề bài: Some cities create housing areas by providing taller buildings. Others create housing by building houses on a wider area of land. Which solution is better?

Bài mẫu:

Creating good housing areas has always been a major concern for urban planners. Some cities build taller buildings to accommodate their growing population, while others opt to spread their housing areas out horizontally. This essay will explore the advantages of both approaches to  decide which one is more appropriate.  

Expanding vertically  is a popular choice in many cities for there is little impact on the surrounding areas . Many cities nowadays are surrounded by farmland. If we choose the second solution, there will be an expansion of urban areas, which means agricultural land  will have to be removed or replaced. However, these areas are responsible for food production and provision for the region around them, including the city itself, meaning that there could be problems with food security. 

The second choice, on the other hand, also has its advantages. Building higher buildings will certainly increase the population density, which will put a burden on the existing infrastructure of the city.  As more people move to these housing areas, roadways will be more and more crowded. Public transport systems will also be under more pressure.  Take Hanoi as an example. In recent years, when an increased number of people relocated to the city for better job opportunities, many new apartment blocks, invariably close to the city center, were  built to meet the housing needs. As a result, the traffic problem is exacerbated and buses are always packed with passengers. 

In my view, the latter approach to urban planning makes more logical sense. Ensuring food security is possible through other means, and can be done by replacing the lost farmland with vertical farming, a solution Singapore has successfully implemented . This is much cheaper than building more and wider roads, which is almost impossible since that would mean the city has to be rebuilt from the ground up.   

In conclusion, while building taller building does not influence agriculture, it creates several problems that are difficult to solve. Therefore, building houses across a wider area of land, in my opinion, seems more sensible.
