For city life, the chances and opportunities to improvise and strive forward are much higher in city life, much more than rural areas. However the tradeoff for city life is that there are more numbers in terms of population, causing more air pollution, noise, frequent water disruption, traffic jam and higher chances of crimes.
From this, it is totally the opposite for rural areas as they are lesser number in terms of population, which means lesser issue for pollution and overcrowding. Therefore cleaner air and peace can be found there. Rural areas normally hold more tradition, culture and heritage. Sunshine, nature, peace, greenery and tranquility can be easily found in these places, and the people there are most likely to be even more warm and friendly.
On the other hand, city life is filled many tough challenges and consequences. Most of the people who stay in the cities are facilitated with latest technologies and facilities, such as public transport and many more. Unfortunately this causes them to be more caught up with their commitments, most of them are too occupied or busy with their work and do not have any extra time to visit their close ones such as their neighbors, friends and relatives. Thus, these are all the differences, as well as advantages and disadvantages to live in both city and urban areas.
