some people feel that the design of newly constructed buildings in big cities should be controlled by governments. others believe those who finance the construction of a building should be free to design it as they see fit. discuss both these views and give your opinion.

Nowadays with the fast-growing economy of some major cities in the world, more and more modern buildings are being erected to accommodate the burgeoning population that the economic growth brings.

However

, there is debate over whether local governments or

construction

companies should be responsible for the

design

of buildings. In my view,

construction

authorities should dictate how buildings are to be built. On one side of the debate, there are people who argue that

construction

companies have more financial backing for their

construction

projects, and they know what consumers want and will

For example

However
