With the fast speed of urbanization and urban sprawl around the world, two modes of city appearance seem prevalent: “vertical city”, where residents live and work in high-rises, and “horizontal city”, where there is virtually no skyscrapers. Which one is more advantageous than the other has become a hot topic of discussion without a consensus till today. (定语从句、主语从句)
Although some downsides of a vertical city such as urban heat island effect, light pollution or over-crowdedness are well aware by those advocates who insist that vertical city is superior, they stick to this belief because high-rise buildings downtown can not only save space which characterizes majority of metropolis, but offer limitless convenience to city dwellers. Since these high building blocks, whether used for living or working, are sufficiently equipped with supporting facilities, such as banks, shopping malls, schools, restaurants which makes life expedient. Commuting time thus can be saved substantially and traffic and pollution problems caused by growing ownership of personal vehicles can be reduced to some extent. （定语从句、宾语从句）
Personally I think it is unrealistic these days to only construct low-rise buildings in a city, especially in a major city where crowds of people flock into. Space restriction is another consideration when design a new city. For cities with long history, some traditional low buildings should be well preserved while skyscrapers are encouraged in the new development zones. （插入语、介宾独立主格、并列句） (287 words)
