Writing Task 2　　

Governments are encouraging industries and businesses to move from large cities to regional areas. Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?

Advantages

1. It is reasonable to think that moving thousands of employees from large companies out to remote areas would have a positive impact on the overcrowding of some cities.

2. There would be less traffic, less people in the city centre, and this would obviously be highly desirable.

3. In addition, there would be less strain on the services offered by the city – banks, public transportation, restaurants and the like.

4. This would mean a reduction in queues and faster customer service.

Disadvantages

1. The problem however would be that a dramatic reduction in numbers of people in the cities would mean that many businesses would go broke. R

2. estaurants, cafes and other service areas would suffer tremendously. What would happen is that overcrowding would occur where the new, large organisations relocated. More and more people offering services would spring up - restaurants, shopping centres and other businesses would be needed to service the increasingly larger numbers of people who moved to the area.

3. In addition, the regional area may not be able to provide the enormous quantities of housing, electricity and raw materials required to run a huge company.
