TOPIC: ISSUE26 - "Most people would agree that buildings represent a valuable record of any society's past, but controversy arises when old buildings stand on ground that modern planners feel could be better used for modern purposes. In such situations, modern development should be given precedence over the preservation of historic buildings so that contemporary needs can be served."

以下仅仅为提纲，以后有空再补全

Some old buildings are sometimes a tourism resource that can even make more money than modern buildings. Our ancestor left those precious bequest to us and we can make good use of. e.g Chinese Great Walls, French Eiffel Tower, Colosseum in Rome. Such places of interest can attract more tourists and get benefit from them.

Some other old buildings are sometimes a living textbook for the descendance to remember their ancestor's history--glory or sorrow. e.g Old Palace of China, Germany's Nazi prison camp for Jews. Such buildings can not be rebuild and their historical significance are much more important than ecnominal meanings.

Some other old buildings are even a symbol of a country, they are not going to be removed under no way, e.g Statue of Liberty of America, English Big ban. No matter how old they are, we have no reason to get it replaced by modern buildings.

However, not all the old buildings are to be preserved. If we left them all the the places they were, we would have no space for today's development. So when we confront with the sharp conflict between them. They first thing for us to consider is whether they have got tremendous tourism, history value or then can stand for a country.

Then, if those old buildings are not so important, we could leave some of them selectively. e.g Hutong is beijin can be preseved some for historical reasons are the others are to be removed since they are so many and keeping them would make it impossible for beijin to develop.
