Money should be spent on creating new buildings rather than renovating the existing ones. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

There is a perception that finances ought to be spent on constructing the newer buildings,

instead

of altering the existing ones. I disagree with

this

opinion and believe that alteration and repair work in existing buildings is more cost-effective.

Moreover

Linking Words

, these buildings include those of cultural value that must be safeguarded at any cost. Admittedly, constructing the new buildings should be given a preference over renovating the older ones, whenever the budget allows.

This

Linking Words

is because,

although

Linking Words

, newer buildings requires less maintenance work and

thus

Linking Words

save valuable man power, the huge investment required to build these blocks costs a handsome amount of resources.

Moreover

, the time and money needed to demolish the existing structures, multiplies

this

work and the cost, exponentially.

This

Linking Words

is why, not even the richest countries like England and the USA, follow these practices in their countries.

Furthermore

Linking Words

, there is a point to ponder that what might be the fate of a city where people start constructing newer buildings and abandoning older ones? Another important reason to stress upon the renovation of older buildings

instead

Linking Words

of constructing newer one's, is the cultural and historical values of the ancient buildings.

In other words

Linking Words

, very often, these buildings are a hub of the cultural activities.

For instance

Linking Words

, museums, mausoleums and historical forts. To demolish these buildings equals to the demise of these cultures and heritage.

Thus

Linking Words

, preserving these valuable buildings by minor renovations and repairs is of utmost importance in order to pass on the heritage to the younger generations.  

Furthermore

Linking Words

, there are many countries like India, Egypt and Pakistan, whom economies are dependent on the tourism industry. Since these old buildings are important tourist attractions, replacing them with newer one's would probably crash the economies of these states.  To conclude,

nevertheless

Linking Words

, newer buildings tend to survive longer, but renovating older ones are more cost-effective

besides

being a vital part of culture and history. It is,

therefore

Linking Words

, suggested that governments should aim to preserve the historical buildings and save money which can be spent elsewhere, worthwhile.
