When new towns are planned it is more important to build public parks or sports facilities than shopping centers for people to spend their free time To what extent do you agree or disagree?

In almost every city and town, there is a similar dilemma for the government about how to plan the city’s facilities properly. Whether there should be more public parks and sports facilities than shopping centers has caused a heated debate. In my personal view, places for citizens to intimate nature and engage in exercise overweigh those for shopping.

Let us first consider the pros that public parks can bring to individuals. With a rapid trend of urbanization, in some towns, there are more modern buildings and skyscrapers at every corner instead of public gardens. People in such cities suffer from air pollution, and that results in health problems. Moreover, the relationship with family and friends has weaken, since everyone’s leisure activities are in front of monitor screens.

Likewise, doing sports will have a positive impact on people’s physical health. For example, we are living in an aging society, as more people reach their twilight years, they will face increasing health problems. To erect more infrastructure facilities like small-sized sports stadiums, it will definitely not only benefit the elderly, but help the government save health care money and then invest them in other social services, such as education and civilization construction.

This is not to say that the government should not invest any money in erecting shopping centers. Of course, these services play a role in boosting sales and stimulating economic growth. But with too many big shopping chains, they may have to compete with each other, which may give rise to price fluctuations, and that perhaps will create an economic bubble.

So to conclude, our government should give priority to keeping the public healthy by providing more services for them to do sports and maintain a healthy relationship with people who they care about. Meanwhile, we can not neglect the positive influence that shopping centers have on economic development. Only by doing so can we ensure individuals not only form a good habit of exercising, but make good use of shopping services.
