The restoration buildings in major cities throughout the
world involves the enormous government expenditure. This money can bring more
benefits if it is used to provide the new house and the road development. Do
you agree or disagree?
Agree
- meet the demand of growing
population
- save money
- old houses which are cramp, dirty
and unsafe
- open new economic opportunities
Disagree
- attract tourists like ancient
streets
- be symbol of cultural identity
- give people sense of serenity and
peace
Whether governments should demolish
old houses to widen roads and build new ones remains controversial. Some people
think that this trend is possible to open new economic opportunities while
others claim that old houses need to be preserved thanks to their precious
historical value. I partly agree with the statement for the following reasons.
First,
the appearance of old houses magnetizes flocks of tourists. With ancient houses symbolizing historical heritage of
nations, visitors from all walks of life desire to set foot here to dig deeper
and admire their beauty. Ancient streets in Hanoi or Hoi An are telling
examples of places attracting thousands of tourists annually and generating a
huge amount of profit. Nevertheless,
it can hardly be denied that not all old houses are of such
economic
value like that. In reality, due to weathering,
these houses become derelict, cramp and extremely dirty, which endangers
people's lives in neighborhood. Reports indicate that there have been people
dying because of sudden collapse of old houses, especially in unpredictable
weather condition.
Second,
young generation need to witness old houses to be reminded of their glorious
past history and unparalleled architectural styles by predecessors. In times of globalization where the young are often mislead
and affected by external cultures, the existence and restoration of ancient
houses is crucial to cultivate in them patriotism for nations and effort to
build their countries. To some, being thrown in the hustle and bustle of big
cities, they find old houses as an ideal escape and meditate themselves under
the shadow of the serene and peaceful past. However, with regard to growing population, particularly,
in inner cities, it is essential for governments to widen roads and construct
skyscrapers. Old houses, despite their undeniable beauty, hardly
accommodate a large amount of population while some of them apparently stand in
the way of community development for their unsuitable location. For instance,
an ancient house in my neighborhood which stood right next to the railway three
years ago caused danger for people inside and has just been removed. For
another example, in areas where there are no schools for kids, but old churches
and residential areas, it is a wise decision to omit one of ancient buildings.
In brief, considering the location,
safety, rarity and demand of community, governments will decide whether to
demolish old houses or preserve them
