People think that old buildings should be knocked down and give way to modern buildings. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Some people argue that old buildings should be demolished since it could be harzardous. However, I do not agree with this view.
To begin with, some old building are valuable historical and profitable resources. Being old does not always mean it is useless and old-fashioned. Some old buidlings are historical heritages itself. In South Korea, the building related to the independence movement during the Japanese colonization are designated as national historical sites and used as museums where people can learn history about that period and remember their devotion. In addition, old buildings could be a lovely tourist attractions. For example, the picturesque scenery of Paris where the classical building are harmonized well with modern buildings attracts a number of visitors from across the world. Also, some houses where famous people such as Albert Einstein used to live are one of the most popular attractions.
On the top of that, the reconstruction of housing units can cause huge problems. For inhabitants, the removal of old house might means the losing of the place they have been living for years. Moreover, they need to find new home, which is often hard because the compensate money for their old houses are usually not enough to buy other house in their neighborhoods. This frequently leads to conficts about the amount of compensate money between the authorities or company who introduced the reconstruction scheme and sometimes even violence are used to force the residences to move into new places.
In conclusion, buidlings get old with history and precious memories of people who lived there and these make old building worth to remain and even be preserved.
