Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: it's more important for the government to build new housing than preserve old and historic building.
The removal of old and historic building often hits the headline and causes a hot debate that which is more important to our society between developing the city and preserving the culture heritage. I think in our contemporary society, the city construction should be put on the prior place, not only because the new skyscraper could save our precious land resources, but also because it can bring us with more comfort and convenience than the old and historic building.
I believe no one would doubt that the old and historic buildings are often low storied ones that could not meet the need of housing for the sudden increase in population throughout our world. Nowadays, people poured into big cities to seek the opportunity for their career and to enjoy the better life. Because of the space limitation, the best methods to deal with the “population explosion” might be more usable floor area on the same land, which directly resulted in dismantling the old and historic buildings. Moreover, the cost of maintaining the old houses, such as repair and protection, is a considerable and onerous burden for our limited budget, for a long term, which might even exceed the expense of building a new one.
Another has to do with my agreement is that the new buildings that was constructed with the help of advanced technologies are more substantial, convenient, comfort and sometimes even could be the new way of conserving energy. For example, the new buildings are strongly built by the modern heavy machinery they would keep up even in a violent earthquake. And the central air condition systems almost established in every new buildings today, which not only save the cost of heating and cooling but also prevent the incidence of some diseases, such as carbon monoxide poisoning. In addition, with the prevailing awareness of environment protection, many architect have designed the environment friendly buildings which could decrease the consumption of our limited resources by using solar energy, some even could generate some energy to satisfy themselves through the process of garbage disposal.
Some people might argue that the old and historic buildings are precious culture heritage of a country which is non-renewable and irreplaceable so that the new buildings should make way for them. I concede that some old and historic buildings could also bring us with profits with the wanderlust worldwide, and some have significant historic meanings for one country or one ethnic group. Therefore, the best attitude should be striking a balance between the new buildings and the old one, that is to say, preserving the representative old and historic buildings and properly constructing the new ones.
In sum, I believe, in our society with population and energy problems, building new houses is more important than preserving the old ones, however, the old and historic buildings which can benefit us economically or culturally should also be protected.
