Each year, millions of people migrate to urban centers in search of greener

pastures. Even though most of them would have preferred to stay in the less
stressful villages, they had to move to cities due to economic reasons. Here are
reasons why city life is better than village life.
1. The first reason is transport. The cities generally have well-structured
transport network systems that connect virtually all areas of the urban
centers. The main modes of transport include road, rail and air.
2. There are also paved paths for walking and riding bicycles. On the flip side,
villages have the worst transport systems. The main drive way may be well
maintained, but other interlocking roads that penetrate through villages and
farms are rarely tarmacked. These roads are impenetrable during the wet
seasons when they become muddy.
3. Then, there is better communication in the cities. Most communication
companies have all their equipment installed in cities, because of the high
population which assures them of good return on their investments.
4. Furthermore, the cities have security. Cities have police patrolling twenty
four hours a day. Aside from that, there are CCTV cameras all over the city,
which makes it easier to catch criminals and solve crimes.
5. There are no advanced police forces in the villages, just a few sheriffs with
poor equipment, who have to cater to all the people.
6. More job opportunities: In cities, there are a lot more jobs available and
more opportunities for you to find a job than in the country or
village lifestyle.
7. More chances of meeting new people: One of the major ways in which
people get new opportunities is through meeting people and city life offers
this.
8. A lot of varieties and choices: You have a lot more variety and choices in
city life than in rural life because of the abundance and mix of people and
culture.
9. Better infrastructure and education opportunities: There are more
educational opportunities and a lot of different courses and institutions
available in cities. Although they might be expensive, it is also easier to get
a bank loan in the city.
10. More overall facilities and knowledge about health: There are more
opportunities for a healthy lifestyle in cities such as good doctors and
 vaccination opportunities. People are known to live longer because they
have purposeful lives and dedicate themselves to more worthy causes.
