Some people think that old buildings should be knocked down and give way to the new buildings. To what extent do you agree or disagree? How important are old buildings to us?

Every property has its value and lifespan. So do the

buildings

. Nowadays, city planners are very often confronted with controversy about whether an old building should be demolished or maintained. I think that old

buildings

should be destroyed and new

buildings

should be constructed in their place. I will discuss my point of view in the

next

few paragraphs. If we talk about old

buildings

that possess no exceptional value while becoming dilapidated, entire destruction is an acceptable and understandable decision. Poor in condition and low in quality, some

buildings

pose a danger to people inside as well as pedestrians.

Also

, they might stand in the way of a new road line or impede other urban development projects. Whether they have been reinforced or not, these

buildings

can blemish the landscape and hardly justify continued maintenance. Replacing

such

buildings

with new ones meets the renewed needs of the city. There is no doubt that some old

buildings

are of archaeological, aesthetic, or architectural significance. They might either be important to a culture or unique in terms of architecture. Reconstruction of

such

structures will trigger damage to cultural heritage and prevent architects from getting inspired by their predecessors. Because of their uniqueness, antique

buildings

are supposed to act as a source of tourism income, if maintained well. But it is to be noted that the cost of maintenance is very high and it is questionable whether the money spent on them will be rewarding.

Although

many people are in the favour of retaining old

buildings

buildings

must be preserved for the sake of cultural heritage, their continued maintenance is an unnecessary overhead to the government.

Instead

buildings

can be constructed.
