development of a city. Not surprisingly, there are a lot of debates about whether old

, protected. I am inclined to support the second viewpoint since old

.

However

, both views will be discussed in

this

essay.

Due to

fast urbanization within the

last

few decades, the need for new houses and offices has increased significantly. Here modern

architecture

offers a number of solutions with its skyscrapers or small, but multifunctional constructions.

However

, these new

buildings

might make streets look homogenised.

Moreover

, in order to build them historical

buildings

might need to be demolished, which might put

off from visiting

places.

On the other hand

, if old cottages, houses and towers will be protected and restored,

this

would attract people from all over the world to visit them and enjoy the atmosphere of the era they were built in.

As a result

, the local economy will flourish.

For example

, the number of

visiting the old city of Rome every year illustrates that

tourists

always prefer places with a long history to new ones.

To sum up

all of the above,

although

modern

offers a solution to the lack of space problem in megapolises, preserving old

is more likely to save and develop tourism. From my point of view, tourism is one of the integral parts of economic prosperity.

Thus

, I agree with the second opinion and I think local authorities should follow

strategy.
