City is a place where life has become modern and comfortable and also mechanised. It is a huge habitation with brilliant life and life style to be seen everywhere. For a correct assessment of city life we have to look at both the pros and cons of the city life, understand its advantages and disadvantages, and its merits and demerits. People throng to a city basically for their employment i.e. for a means for a living or earning. This of course is absolutely necessary 4 all.

भोपाल प्राचीन काल से ही झीलों का शहर रहा है। राजा भोज के जमाने से ही यहां झीलों का संरक्षण रहा है। भोपाल की झीले यहां की पहचान भी हैं। किन्तु झीलों के किनारे हो रही गंदगी, बड़ी झील को पूर कर उस पर किया जा रहा अतिक्रमण हमे विरासत में मिली प्राकृतिक झीलों पर कब्जा झीलांे के लिये अस्तित्व के लिये खतरा बन गया है।किन्तु काई विकल्प नहीं मिल पा रहा है। इस और ज्यादा ध्यान देना होगा कि सड़कों का चैड़ीकरण और निर्माण आने वाले 30 वर्ष को ध्यान में रखकर किया जाये।
