There are many advantages and drawbacks of city life that you need to know before deciding whether to settle down there or not.
Cities are large and highly populated areas and therefore often seem like very crowded places. Because the population is more concentrated, there are often traffic jams, packed public transportation and streets swarming with people in a rush. Pollution is one of the major problems caused by high population density. Motor vehicle emissions contribute to low quality of air and are a major component of smog in some large cities. Another thing to have in mind if you want to reside in urban areas is the high prices of accommodations. For the price of an apartment in the city, one can buy a large property in the country, with lots of indoor and also outdoor space.
