Then write the main idea for the paragraph.
1.
With population increases and global urbanisation, the city has
become the focus of many built environment professionals. Every day brings a new
story of innovative cities introducing design changes aimed at improving sustainability
for current and future inhabitants, but one part of our human existence seems to
have been sidetracked. What is going to happen to the countryside? more
The topic is Global urbanization
The main idea is More and more people are moving in to the cities. What will
happen to the countryside?

. Rural life is associated with closely-knit communities, sense of belonging, and a simple,
idyllic life built around agricultural industries. Yet whilst some or all of these elements exist in the
countryside, so do conservatism and a lack of employment opportunities. And it is mostly due to the
latter that rural communities are suffering. Attracted by the improved economics of urban areas,
country-dwellers across the world are moving out, contributing to bustling, densely populated cities,
and leaving the countryside in an unknown state.
The topic is Characteristics of the countryside
The main idea is The countryside consists of closely knit communities with a sense of
belonging but also conservatism

3.
So how can the countryside ensure its survival among these changes, or should it at all?
Due to both the distance between residences and amenities and often sporadic public transport, those
living in the countryside are heavier automobile users. Rural-dwellers also use more energy maintaining
their mostly-detached buildings. We may be piled up like boxes in the city, but this brings energy
efficiency that the countryside cannot match. Rural energy requirements results in higher carbon
emissions per capita in the countryside than in the city, so it is actually irresponsible to encourage such
a lifestyle choice?
The topic is The energy consumption for the countryside versus cities.
The main idea is The carbon emissions are higher in rural areas when counted per
capita.

4.
Protecting the countryside is a hot-topic. Those who have made their fortunes in the
city often buy second homes in the countryside, visiting infrequently for a sample of a supposedly
simple life. The side-effect of this is that house prices are pushed up due to increased demand, leaving
them unaffordable for local people. A solution has yet to be found for this challenge, meaning market
forces are further forcing residents out of the countryside. For those who believe in rural preservation,
this is a disgrace. But is it?
The topic is Protecting the countryside
The main idea is Many wealthy city families buy a second home in the country and
that drives prices so the people living there find it difficult to by homes.

5.
Whilst an idealised view of the countryside is common, the reality is that rural life has
continuously evolved. Industrialisation brought an increase in divisions of labour, changing social links
between rural people. The internet has introduced once foreign cultures into the countryside.
Improved travel connections and affordability has made the world more accessible, creating a ‘global
village’. Considering these changes, surely an evolving countryside is inevitable?
The topic is Internets effect on the countryside
The main idea is They countryside has always been changing especially since the
internet came to the countryside.

6.
With increasing urban populations, one possibility for the countryside is that it will
become a city’s lungs. With more people than ever crammed into cities, where will our food be
grown? The cotton for our clothes? The trees for our oxygen production? The future role of the
countryside could well be the city’s servant. Perhaps the countryside should also prepare itself for
massive population increases in the future. With cities across the world growing rapidly and numerous
challenges arising from this, how will the current urban generation respond to the inevitable social
changes of mass-urbanisation? Will the longing for a more simple life become stronger, fueling a rural
renaissance?
The topic is The future of the countryside
The main idea is We still need all the things the countryside provides. And maybe
the simple life will become more attractive to people in the cities.
