Essay Ideas on City vs.

Village Life
It is a matter of personal preference and convenience which determines
whether people choose to live in city or village. However, both the
lifestyle possesses some appeals and drawbacks, similarities and
differences, and the like. In my opinion however, the town and country
lives are becoming increasingly similar with the passage of time.
The fundamental difference between a city and a village is in terms of the
availability of infrastructures. City life is characterized by the abundant
availability of good infrastructures for health, education, transport,
communication and so on. But the village life is generally known for its lack
of physical facilities and good infrastructures. However, the scenario is
changing these days and the basic infrastructures like road, electricity,
etc have paved their way up to the village in many advanced countries thus
physically connecting the villages with the cities and lighting them with
the electricity. As a result, in the present context, the gap of the
availability of physical facilities is in the verge of closing up.
While the appeals of city life are physical facilities, the appeal of Village
life is natural and pollution free environment. The city environment is
artificial and polluted. However, the pollution level is decreasing
nowadays, as the industries and factories are being separated from the
residential areas in the cities. Similarly, the concept of eco-friendly cities
(also known as eco-cities) are being introduced and implemented.
Tremendous efforts have been made to turn cities green. Nevertheless,
the abundance of trams and vehicles in cities will keep causing some level
of noise and air pollution there.
Town life is characterized by crowd and rush. A lot of people rushing
towards their workplace or home in public transports, trains, subways, and
the like is a norm of city life. Similarly, there's a big crowd in the
supermarkets and shopping centers, especially during the shopping hours.
However, in countryside the life is just opposite. There's no such crowd
and rush. There are a lot of open spaces. Also there is no need to be in
hurry, except for some circumstances.
Therefore there are many differences between village and city life. Yet,
they are trying to incorporate the good features of each other, for

example physical facilities and infrastructures are being built in villages,

and parks and open spaces are built in cities. Moreover, cities are going
green, for instance eco-cities. Thus, we can conclude that the gap
between cities and villages is narrowing down.
