The tendency of modern civilization is to give prominence to city life. All cities have good schools, colleges and universities for imparting higher education in all branches and disciplines. The best possible medical aid and hospitals are available in the cities. A city provides for better sanitation and a good supply of pure water to the citizens. All the roads are metalled and furnished with electric light. There are better facilities of transport and communication. There are also provisions for games, sports, amusements of different kinds for the recreation of the people. Good facilities for trade, commerce and industries are available in a city. In consideration of all these advantages people prefer to live in a city. Most of the people living in cities are generally educated. A great many of them lead a live of comfort and luxury. But there are still a large number of day labourers and wage earner who are attracted to the cities for there earning facilities. They live mostly in slums and earn there living by the sweat of there brow. In spite of all its advantages most cities are now in the grip of traffic jam, air pollution, water pollution, sound pollution, and a lot of social evils. Thus, nowadays, city life is an unenviable life.
