The characteristics of city life is often posited, closely related to ambient psychosocial stressors and physical environment hazards.  As cities have clearly played a major role in the creation of the decreasing level of life quality of the city dwellers, they will form a central part of any response.

Big cities are associated with a high cost of living. Houses and apartments in prime neighbourhoods tend to be much smaller and much more expensive. Goods and services can also be more costly, in comparison with their rural counterpart. The cost of living is barely mediated by average salaries and public transportation, which will constantly put those dwellers under enormous pressure and anxiety at a disproportionately high rate.  Another grave problem of cities is the deterioration of the living environment.  It cannot be denied that air, water and land are severely polluted in a city. The main causes for this are lack of proper disposal of wastes, large number of industries lacking purification facilities, lack of proper sanitation, use of coal, petrol and diesel which cause extreme pollution, incomplete combustion of fuels and many more. And rising urban populations mean these problems may soon get a great deal worse.

Yet evidences suggests that measures can be taken to make cities work better in terms of emissions and sustainability and make them work better as prosperous and attractive places to live and work as well.  For instance，an increase in blue space visibility and availability of green space to relax could help ease mental stress，shifting people from moderate distress into a lower category.  All cities can guide urban planning and prevent the expansion and lock in of high-carbon infrastructure or offer complementary measures on public transport, cycling, electric and shared vehicle infrastructure.  A transformation in the energy supply mix, together with a step-change in energy efficiency of technologies and change in energy consumption is also worth considering.

In conclusion，it is undeniable that city life, per se, is placing the environment and individuals in peril. Fortunately, society is more aware and empowered to address these issues of urban health.
