It is too expensive to look after and repair old building .Tho money should spend on building new modern buildings instead .To what extent do you agree or disagree.

The repair and restoration of old

buildings

require a lot of

money

. Some individuals think the

money

should

instead

be spent on building new structures. In my opinion, I agree that the upkeep of old architecture can be a dear process.

However

, they

also

have culture and history associated with them that modern ones do not. Restoring

buildings

can take many years, requiring a lot of manpower and time.

For example

, the individuals who work on these projects require a knowledge of these ancient properties,

thus

only certain people can be hired for

this

job.

This

increases the value of the job,

thus

creating an expensive process. The funds for these projects tend to come from taxpayers

money

and so the general public should have a say in whether they want

this

to happen. Some people prefer the

money

be directed towards new builds. New

buildings

are necessary with the increasing population.

For example

, the homelessness crisis requires structures - it would be better to use resources to create new

buildings

to house people. Not only that but with an increase in population, more room is required for the growth of industry too,

therefore

monuments like office

buildings

and schools, etc need to be built. In my opinion, there is scope for both. We should preserve history and culture by restoring old

buildings

. The methods are centuries old and so would be beneficial for the newer generation to learn from,

however

,

due to

the current climate there is a need for new

buildings

too.

Therefore

, both conditions should be managed.
