Some people think it is important to construct new buildings rather than wasting money maintaining the old ones. To what extent, do you disagree or agree with this opinion?

Since the beginning of industrialization, the pace of construction of new

buildings

has been astounding. Yet, some people believe that it is better to build new structures

instead

of spending money to restore those already existing. In

this

essay, I will assess both views and I will outline the reasons why it is better to maintain the old

buildings

. In developed countries, metropolises are massive

cities

,

therefore

expanding them

further

without

first

trying to restore the already existing

buildings

would result in a rise in

pollution

. In fact, if people live far from the centre, the time spent commuting is higher,

consequently

Add a comma

the

pollution

is more. Building new edifices requires more bricks, steel, energy and water.

Therefore

it is not sustainable.

In addition

to the increase in

pollution

, if the

cities

are bigger, the time spent moving across the

cities

is higher. Nowadays, there are already a lot of issues regarding traffic jams in big

cities

such

as Los Angeles or Las Vegas. In conclusion,

although

it might seem better to construct new, modern

buildings

, it is worse from every point of view, among them:

pollution

and quality of life are the majors. For the future sustainability of the world, the best option is to use all the spaces that are already available

instead

of creating new ones
