In this world, replacing historic buildings with modern ones as the process of modernization in some places.
However, I do not think that the government should allow old historic buildings to be destroyed and replaced with modern ones for two points. First, it is because of preservation of historical value. And second, it is due to improvement in the society.
To begin with, historic buildings mean space that have experience of our time. If we destruct it, would it be possible to be proud of our history and nation? The answer would be no. We need to protect buildings in order to learn lessons from it and maintain the value of it. For example, there were discussion on whether an old historic building that was built about 700 years ago have to be destroyed or not in our city. Some people agreed on it due to the fact that we have to follow the trend of contemporary designs and pursue modernization in our city. However, people on the opposite side argued that we need to preserve it and keep it as our historical traces. As a result, the building remained. Then we continuously have festivals in the building for the purpose of remembering meaningful history. Also, when tourists from other places visit the building, The guide explains some features and origin of it. So the building have become the proof that people in the town recognized true value of our own history.
To explain, preservation of historical buildings have economic and cultural effects. It is due to the fact that if there is influx of people who want to see buildings, it will have positive impact on regional markets. Moreover, the buildings can be a landmark that represent features the city. For example, in my town, there are wooden buildings that are built when Chosun Dynasty was established. After dramas about historical relics in Chosun Dynasty was broadcasted, An enormous amount of people tried to come to our town and see the buildings. Even there were too many people to manage streets of the city normally. And this point lead to higher profits in stores and cafeteria around the buildings. So our town became famous for the buildings and it benefited a lot of people.
To sum up, the government should allow old historic buildings to be destroyed and replaced with modern ones. First, it is because of preservation of historical value. And second, it is due to improvement in the society.
