The restoration of old buildings in major cities throughout the world involves enormous expenditure. This money would bring more benefits if it was used to provide new housing and road development. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

The re-modelling and restorations of old

buildings

would bring back the history and help in recreating the long lost vision of the

buildings

,

however

, there are

people

who think that the enormous expenditure which is being used in reconstructing these

buildings

could be used for other purposes

such

as providing new housing and track development each of these has their own pros and cons which I would illustrate below. In the

first

scenario where old monuments and

buildings

are being restored in the major ,cities they are bringing back the long lost vision of the architects which were destroyed either during wars or during protests or due to lack of funds from the government to preserve them or abandoning the

buildings

and not maintaining them. restoring these

buildings

will bring back the history of that place.

For example

- the restoration of Sri Ranganatha Swamy temple in Tamil Nadu. Three members from UNSECO came and inspected

this

temple. The main motive was to restore its heritage value and after inspecting for a couple of hours they applauded the restoring process and how restoring it can be helpful to

people

in many ways that as the re-establishment of rainwater harvesting methods. In the

second

scenario where these funds could be used for housing , street developments and other purposes to help

people

which would be beneficial for them. For ,instance the potholes can be covered and the roads which got destroyed during the rainy season can be re-constructed. Poor

people

can be given a single BHK apartment to live in by using

this

amount as one of the schemes. In conclusion, I reiterate and support both of the views, the restoring of

buildings

can bring back our heritage values and history which

then

can be used to raise funds for the roadway development projects and new housing schemes.

Although

it is going to be a tedious and complicated process with the right amount of charging visiting fees after restoring the building's these fees could be transferred to help in the lane development and new housing schemes.
