Subject: Concerns Over Urban Sprawl and Possible Solutions

Respected Sir/Madam,

I wish to express my deep concern over the rapid urban sprawl in our cities, which is leading to serious environmental and infrastructural issues. The uncontrolled expansion of cities results in air and water pollution, deforestation, loss of agricultural land, and disruption of natural ecosystems.

Urban sprawl negatively impacts daily life by increasing traffic congestion, raising commuting times, and reducing air quality. Additionally, it puts immense pressure on public services and contributes to unplanned settlements.

To mitigate these issues, the government must promote effective urban planning, encourage vertical expansion, and implement sustainable transportation systems. Green spaces and eco-friendly infrastructure should be prioritized to balance urban development with environmental conservation.

I urge the concerned authorities to take immediate action to curb unplanned urbanization and ensure a sustainable future for our cities.

Yours sincerely,
Sonal
