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

The importance of old and new

buildings

was always debatable and has now become more controversial. Some people think that preserving the old

buildings

is a waste of money,

instead

of

this

new

buildings

should be built. while others rejected

this

notion. In my ,opinion the former preposition appears to be more rational.

This

essay will

further

elaborate my views and

thus

lead to a logical conclusion. There is no denying, that it is appropriate keeping certain old

buildings

. Many castles and mansions,

for example

, around the World are of great interest and they deserve to be preserved, but in some cases, old

buildings

are overrated, while, many new

buildings

are undervalued.

Instead

of money being spent on improving them, many old

buildings

should have been demolished, because they are not fit for purpose. Many people like them for nostalgic reasons, and there is no doubt that they are symbols of another era, but they are in many instances not very practical to work or live in.

On the other hand

, new

buildings

are generally cheaper to build and maintain than keeping old

buildings

. The cost involved in the latter arise because sometimes it is difficult to find the correct materials for renovation. It is

also

time-consuming to modernise them while at the same time keeping the original features. Some people dislike modem construction methods because they use a lot of glass and steel rather than old-fashioned materials

such

as bricks. As we have seen, the construction of modern

buildings

is more worthwhile than maintaining older ones.
