Many believe that old buildings are not useful anymore, and they are in favour of demolishing them to build new ones
instead
. I disagree with that point of view because I see more value-added to the communities in keeping those buildings, than in replacing them. In Linking Words
this
essay, I will explain in more details that old buildings value.
Linking Words
Firstly
, old buildings hold an important commercial value. Linking Words
That is
because they are an attraction sell points for tourism. Linking Words
For example
, some tourist companies plan various length tours for architecture lovers around the old neighbourhoods in different cities. Linking Words
Furthermore
, there is another type of popular tour that has interests especially in old celebrities' lives, where fans visit the houses they lived in. Needless to say, if the old buildings get knocked down, cities will be deprived of a significant amount of tourism profits.

Secondly
, replacing old buildings with new ones may disrupt social harmony in society. To illustrate, each social segment has specific characteristics that may clash violently with other segments characteristics. A clear example of Linking Words
this
is that new residential buildings are bigger; Linking Words
thus
, hold more families than the old type of building. Linking Words
As a result
, old residents find themselves surrounded by a new segment of tenants that they are not used to, which can create unnesseccary daily conflicts. Linking Words
Therefore
, changing the dynamics among people in that shocking manners will lead to negative socio-economic behaviours.
To conclude, Linking Words
although
some prefer taking down old buildings to give way to new ones, I disagree with them. I believe that old buildings benefit society economically by generating money, and socially by preserving the current social norms.Linking Words
