In many cities the construction of new houses and office buildings is not controlled. This leads to people building in whatever style they want without thinking about design. Do the advantages of this trend outweigh the disadvantages?

Many municipalities are unable to bring up a plan to guide constructors as well as the population to show them what are the norms and rules for building

houses

and offices.

This

takes cities to an uncontrolled situation where people construct their properties in many different styles, according to only to their own tastes and budget. Some people have positive feelings about

this

trend,

however

, in my opinion, the drawbacks are bigger due to the decrease in price it causes in the real estate market as well as the inefficient use of local infrastructure, leading it to an overcharge. The decrease in the price of properties is mainly caused by the lack of official construction plans. If a

city

does not create a construction guide for the engineers and architects of its area, it will probably follow what the customers decide as better for them.

This

can make the appearance of a neighbourhood or the entire

city

to be disconnected and ugly. That means that home-buyers or investors will not look or evaluate

this

area as expensive as others which have a pattern for office buildings and

houses

. Design-free constructions mean that the local infrastructure providers may not support the demand for basic

services

. Every

city

which beliefs in sustainable development for its area must think that an official building plan is necessary not just because of the way the

houses

and buildings should look like, but for attending the demand for basic

services

such

as electricity, water, and sewage. Without any formal development plan, residents will be able to construct buildings and

houses

with different designs and levels of consumptions.

This

can cause many breakdowns in the supply of basic

services

for the entire

city

and lead them to collapse in the long-term. To conclude, lack of control and development plans in cities cause many problems to the management as well as to the real estate market.

This

could lead a

city

to a complete break in their basic

services

as well as bad appearance.

Thus

, having no control over constructions brings more drawbacks than benefits to a region.
