WHAT DO YOU THINK SHOULD BE DONE TO IMPROVE LIVING CONDITIONS IN CITIES?
  • Cities should be more comfortable and safe to live in.
  • The quality of rented houses should be improved.
  • There should be more newly planted trees in cities. 
  • Road networks should be improved in order to reduce traffic congestion and to ensure traffic safety.

Thank you for your comment, Bella!

Great idea!

Generally speaking, cities are not pet-friendly.

It can be challenging to keep a pet in an apartment, especially if we consider dogs. They normally need to be taken out for a walk 3 or 4 times per day. That's probably not much of a problem if you live near a park, but not everyone does.
