Restoration of old buildings in main cities involves enormous government expenditure. It would be more beneficial to spend this money to build new houses and roads. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Give reasons for your answer and include examples from your own experience.

It is believed that the government should allocate their spending

rather than repairing old

. I will show my support for

idea in

essay. The opponents of

viewpoint often exaggerate the advantages that repairing and restoring old

offer.

This

is because demolition and dismantling of old

can create a lot of dust and constructive waste released into the environment, causing increasingly worsened environmental pollution in urban

However

this

perspective fails to consider the huge

cost

of repair and restoration of old

buildings

which are not a one-time

cost

, as these activities require constant maintenance costs including structures, designs, and visuals.

This

is particularly true in the case of a lot of old apartments in Vietnam which need maintenance annually to ensure residents’ safety and these apartments’ visuals, leading to the waste of money but effective not high.

In addition

, the government’s investing in new

can offer long-term benefits, as new

Moreover

and new

, because

this

allows for the integration of modern

including saving-energy systems, smart technologies, and sustainable design methods.

This

not only improves features and quality of

but

also

contributes to the development of a more resilient and advanced urban

system. A perfect example

although
