Has urbanization in Japan gone too far?
Depending on what we are, the answers may well vary, and they all make sense, but in my view, urbanization in Japan has not gone too far, at least at this time. Now let me explain the details.
Urbanization has many advantages: so, it has been a global trend and experts estimate that by 2050, two-thirds of the global population will live in urban areas. For example, we know that urban life provides better access to important ínfrastructure, and many seniors need medical care and life support. That’s why urbanization in Japan cannot be considered excessive.
Next, I understand some may argue that urbanization would inevitably harm the environment, but the government has managed land usage plan to control excessive development. In addition, Japan has many green technologies, such as geothermal, bíomass, and fuel cell, to protect the living environment.
Therefore, I conclude that urbanization in Japan has not gone too far. However, urbanization has its pros and cons, depending on whether it enhances people’s quality of life. So, we must carefully manage them to achieve a better living environment. Thank you for your attention. [185 Words Type-B]
