In recent decades, as Israel's population has increased, more and more of the open spaces and natural scenery in and around cities have become built up. Some people claim that this trend must be stopped and open spaces preserved by instituting a complete ban on the construction of low-rise housing in cities. They recommend that plans for single-and two-story houses in cities no longer be approved. Instead, only plans to build high-rise projects, which can provide housing for many people in a relatively small area, would be approved. Do you support the recommendation to ban construction of low-rise housing in cities? Give reasons for your answer. | English | Heccrbq | Português | Deutsch | Italiano | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | trend | тенденция | tendência | Tendenz | tendenza | | be stopped | оста
