The world has many towns and cities constructed in previous centuries that were more suitable and livable for people in those times than they are now. What problems will this cause today and what can be done to solve these problems?

Many

towns

and

cities

in Europe were built back in the medieval age. Those

towns

and

cities

were once flourishing and livable, but centuries later, not only the

buildings

are not suitable for modern living, but the zoning regulations themselves

also

become outdated. In

this

essay, I will discuss the

issues

that are found in those old

towns

and I will

also

provide possible

solutions

for these

issues

.

One

of the reasons why those

towns

are no longer suitable for modern living is the deterioration of the building. The older

buildings

were built mainly with wood and bricks, and those materials deteriorate over time. Once the building materials degrade, the structure of the building becomes unstable and makes the building unsafe to live

Additionally

, as time goes on, the population in the

towns

and

cities

outgrows the capacity of the infrastructure.

For example

, the roads become too narrow for cars and the sewage system needs a significant upgrade.

Lastly

, the old zoning might no longer be functional.

For example

, the

towns

might need large areas for hospitals, commercial

buildings

or schools to which the old zoning regulation no longer can meet these requirements. I propose two

solutions

.

First

, the city can slowly rebuild the

buildings

by relocating the

residents

to the nearby city or town.

This

should be done by careful planning and consideration, meaning that because the reconstruction can take up to years to complete, the

residents

should be relocated together with the old neighbours and to a similar geographic area so that the

residents

would not be overwhelmed by the relocation process.

Second

, the city can

relocate the entire community to a new location provided that the new location has

similar geography, similar weather and similar culture to the old

one

. In

this

instance, the

residents

do not need to wait for the old town to be rebuilt, they can start their lives in the new location immediately. Two

solutions

have their pros and cons, the best way to decide which

one

to choose from rests largely on the

residents

themself. To conclude, there are many

issues

that be found in the old

towns

and

cities

built centuries ago and the

issues

made the old

towns

and

cities

unlivable. The

residents

need urgent

solutions

. There are mainly two

solutions

which the government should take the

residents

' considerations fully before settling on each
