1. Phần chính

Đoạn 1: Reasons why the idea is justifiable (decreasing population -> relieve pressure on housing supply systems and lower volumes of traffic)

Đoạn 2: Other solutions (development of road systems, more residential areas)

1. Kết luận

Nhắc lại ý kiến (relocating businesses to the countryside is a viable solution but need other actions at the same time)

Ví dụ

Moving businesses and their facilities to the countryside will cause urban population to shrink substantially as successful companies, such as Apple, provide work for thousands of people. This, as a result, will relieve pressure on urban housing supply systems. Another apparent advantage of a decreased population is lower volumes of traffic which help reduce traffic congestion. In Hanoi for example, most people travel to work by private vehicles, and this leads to overcrowded roads during the rush hour. If big companies are based in a rural area and offer accommodation to their employees near their workplaces, this will no longer be the case.

Nonetheless, I think the mentioned problems are rather complicated and can only be solved completely by the introduction of some other measures. One example involves the development of road systems because narrow roads largely contribute to traffic jams in major cities. Building wider roads and motorways will allow a greater number of vehicles, both private and public, and therefore reduce traffic congestion. Also, residential areas with small living spaces that can accommodate a growing population should be established in urban centers.

In conclusion, I concur that relocating businesses to rural areas is one method to address traffic and housing issues. I also maintain that a combination of this strategy and various other measures, as outlined above, is necessary to address these issues in a more holistic manner.
