Some people think that old building are more not important these should be knocked down and other opinion that that these tells about past. Culture so government should allocate money to improve the historical building.

The issue of whether old buildings should be demolished and replaced has long been a controversial issue. While some believe that it is important due to their historical

value

, others believe they should not stand in the way of development, which is resembled by the building of new infrastructures. In order to support one view over the other, it is crucial to answer two questions, which

this

essay will discuss: they are the extent of importance for maintaining old buildings and whether one should

value

history

over

progress

.

Firstly

, I believe that it is very important to maintain old buildings because they have historical and cultural significance and economic

value

.

The old

buildings may have an important function in

history

and some are even the nations’ pride.

For instance

, the Great Wall of China signifies the

history

of slaves’ perseverance, building the great wall of defence despite severe weather conditions, under the tyrannical rule of the Emperor and it

also

shows the concerns over safety during that historical period. Not only so, the Great Wall of China is the place that every tourist will visit when they come to Beijing;

thus

, it can be said that the Great Wall has economic

value

as those tourists will

subsequently

spend money there.

Furthermore

, the Great Wall of China instils a sense of pride in the hearts of Chinese people, as it resembles their long-lasting

history

.

Hence

, maintenance of old buildings

of utmost importance.

However

, opponents may argue differently:

Although

new buildings may not have historical and cultural significance, they do have their purpose, both economically and developmentally. By replacing old buildings, there will be more space for housing, which is especially important due to the current problem of overcrowding. In doing so, it can guarantee basic living standards. There will

also

be more space for buildings used for educational purposes, as education is important for the nations’ growth.

Another

Other

arguments that opponents put forth is that

history

should not deter

progress

. They believe that a nation shouldn’t live in the past;

instead

, they should actively seek out the future. Whilst I believe

this

argument is sound, it is important to note that

history

doesn’t necessarily hinder

progress

, but would even prevent mistakes from happening again. An example will be the Nazi camps; they serve as a reminder to the nation about the dangers of discrimination and injustice. To conclude, based on the two questions, I strongly believe that old buildings should not be replaced, not only due to their significance to the nation, but

also

due to the fact
