- higher rate of air pollution that directly affects the health and stress levels.
Countryside:
+ Feeling closer to nature (no noise from the traffic).
+ children have as much space as they want and do not have to share it with tens of other children, like this is the case in most city parks and playgrounds.
+ Low crime rates. Life in the country is much safer than in the city when
it comes to crime which is virtually non-existent in the countryside.Countryside:
