High-rise buildings destroy the character of a city. Not only should new ones be banned but existing ones should be demolished and replaced with smaller buildings. To what extent do you agree? Use examples from your own knowledge and experience.

While many people believe that the

character

of a

city

has been destroyed by having a lot of skyscrapers, I disagree with

this

point because advanced techniques in construction can preserve traditional

culture

.

Also

, the

character

of a

city

does not always represent by concrete materials. The

first

point to consider is that modern design

buildings including

buildings, including

high-rise skyscrapers can be combined with traditional

culture

and

character

. The advanced of technologies in various aspects

such

as architecture, raw materials, and construction provide ability to preserve

culture

for a skyscraper.

For example

, there is a high-rise hotel building in Thailand

that is

constructed

multiple pieces of glass to make it as a shape of a traditional Thai greeting posture called “Wai”.

This

is a great example which demonstrated how a skyscraper can preserve

and acts as a bridge between vintage and modern

. Another consideration is that the

character

of a

city

could come from the people in that

city

. It does not always come from materials

such

as skyscrapers. Fundamentally, we need a proper definition of

character

.

This

can be a lifestyle of people

such

as busy, polite, lazy, calm, and other behaviours. The best example of

this

is Ho Chi Minh

in Vietnam where there are plenty of old-style small buildings and high-rise buildings situate together.

However

, the local people are still using motorbikes as a primary method of transportation as well as

still has

This

culture

and the

character

of a

city

. They can be represented from other aspects

such

as people, environment and lifestyle which are not relevant to concrete materials

such

as buildings at all.
