答案： One of the most pressing problems in urban development is traffic congestion. During rush hours, roads are often gridlocked, causing delays and frustration for commuters.
To tackle this, cities should prioritize expanding public transportation. Increasing bus and subway lines, and optimizing schedules to reduce waiting times, would encourage more people to use public transit. Additionally, promoting bike-sharing programs and building dedicated bike lanes can offer alternative travel options.
Addressing traffic congestion is crucial because it improves air quality by reducing car emissions and saves residents’ time, enhancing their quality of life. A well-connected city not only functions more efficiently but also becomes more livable for everyone.
