in the tendency of residents and investors to build
buildings
according to their wishes and local government planners are not involved in these constructions. While some believe that
this
is a positive trend, others disagree. In
this
essay, I will discuss, both the benefits and drawbacks of the above and explain why I believe that the disadvantages of designing
buildings
according to one’s own wishes have more negative impacts. There are two major benefits of constructing
buildings
of one’s own design. The
first
is the space in a home. One can build a home according to his family needs and required room number. In Pakistan,
for instance

Although
, positives of space and privacy and own mark is essential features, the negatives of monetary misuse and loss of the city’s traditional style are not negligible. In terms of negatives, in my view, monetary misuse and loss of the city’s traditional style are essential.

as businessmen want to show off their wealth and to do so they invest in luxurious homes not only interiorly but with the extravagant exterior as well. Adding to

is the loss of the region's identity which is a threat to the cultural heritage of a country. If everyone will construct huge
buildings
different from one another, the originality of that area will be lost. It will be more of a museum with sight-seeing showpieces but culturally an unknown city. To conclude, houses with grand designs and beautiful architecture are the right of every homeowner. The positives of space for family and owners imprint on the property is ,
however
, in my view, outweighed by the negatives of monetary exploitation in building distinct houses and damage of cultural relics of a city.
