Town or country mouse?
by John Russell
This simple tale (taken from
Aesop’s famous stories) shows that
what may be a good place to live for
one person, may not be good for
another. A modern version of this
story might look like this: Maria lives
in a big city surrounded by the speed
and convenience of urban life. She
works in an office with 1000 other
employees, and travels to and from
there on a crowded Metro. Her home
is a flat overlooking a busy city-street,
which is always alive with the sound
of traffic and people passing by.
1) _ Weekends are
spent in the shopping mall with its
numerous shops, multi-screen
cinemas, fast food and entertainment
complexes.
2)
He cycles to work down country lanes
every morning, the sound of tractors,
birds and animals in his ears. In the
evening, he relaxes at home in front of
the fire with a good book to read. At
weekends, he goes for long walks in
the fields with his dog.
Unfortunately, life is not as
simple as stories make it. A lot of
today’s ‘town mice’ such as Maria
would be happy to live in the country.
Many modern cities have very large
populations (Tokyo or Mexico City -
over 25 million) and can be crowded,
dirty and dangerous places to live.
3) In much
of Europe and North America this can
be as high as much as 80% of a
country’s population. (According to
the United Nations, approximately 1
billion people in cities are living in
slum conditions – overcrowded and
unhealthy).
The 18th Century marked the
beginning of the Industrial
Revolution, the depopulation of the
countryside, and the move to towns.
The towns became places of mass
employment in factories and offices.
4) _ Yet, a modern
country existence is not without its
problems; poor transport, lack of
access to hospitals and education, and
services found in towns such as large
shops, banks and entertainment.
The debate between town and
country is meaningless these days, as
so many people live in towns, and
very few people are actually able to
choose where they live; this is
dictated by their work or birth. The
internet and other mass media have
linked country areas to the world,
providing access to information –
even to remote areas. If countryside, other benefits of the city need to be
available (employment, healthcare
and education). 5) _______.
The UN World habitat day (4th
October) this year looks at this issue.
It emphasises the need for strong links
between town and countryside, and
their mutual dependence upon each
other.
Are you a town mouse or a
country mouse?
