 　　In this day and age, the phenomenon that a growing number of individuals choosing to dwelling in big cities is prevailing, which may give rise to a series of living challenges there.

　　Three main concerns could be listed as follows. Initially, a large population in urban areas could lead to the occurrence of traffic congestion, which makes habitants there more likely to waste a great deal of time on the road.
