Land, like many other kinds of resources, can not be reproduced. Because of the finity of land, it becomes a dilemma faced by many countries whether to leave more land in its natural condition or to develop more land for housing and industry. In my country, there is more need for land to be developed for housing and industry. I draw this conclusion based on numerous concrete reasons. I will discuss the most important ones in the following paragraphs.
  opulation of my country is huge as much as one quarter of the global population. Basic demands of human beings, which are reached easily in some countries with small population, mean a difficult task in our country. Although the birth rate is decreasing, annually there are still a large number of new born babies. They need place to live in. Also, every year there are hundreds and thousands of young adults facing the pressure of being employed. Industries such as manufacturing and high-tech are the main labor force market of these new labors.
Population is not the only aspect which influences the application of my country's land. My country, China, is a developing country. Our agriculture, automatic industry, and life science are far behind developed countries. Consequently, we need more resources and raw materials to achieve the same results as the developed countries because of our lower productivity. It is a waste of resources to produce with a low productivity, so we set up industrial plants and scientific research gardens to improve it. We also give permission to foreign company to build their factories in China. All these measures which will benefit us in a long term need lands.
It is well known that to save land in its natural condition is vital to all the creatures in this planet. It is good to environment, and it can be a priceless gift we leave behind for our later generations. However, according to the present circumstance of my country, the needs of land for basic demands of all the people and further development in science and industry have more privileges.
In conclusion, I believe in my country there is more need for land to be developed housing and industry at present. |
