Too much money is spent on maintaining and repairing old buildings. Some people think that they should be knocked out to give way to modern buildings.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?
The vast majority people believe in constructing stylish buildings to live in while many suggest to keep the ancient buildings. Ancient buildings send message to the new generation on what did look like and their behaviours.
There are many reasons to illustrate on how the old buildings are important for the new generations. First of all, the ancient buildings are made by our ancestors and I personally believe that we should have a look their imaginations and constructing buildings. Second of all, to see the constructing historic buildings make us more creative persons in our live to make even better buildings for the generations ahead.
On the other hand, new constructions can be an innovative model. If I point it out to some example, the connection of people in highly raised buildings are more simplified than the old ones. For instance, the high raised buildings is more proper for the economy and population. Office workers can be easily contacted.
Consequently, office workers and city dwellers do not waste the connection time. Many people are also happy to manage their things closely in office and it’s definitely preventing from going far away from an office to another.
