In some countries, the population of the cities are increasing significantly; therefore,it is thought by some that we should demolish old traditional buildings and replace them by new modern residential buildings. In contrast, others believe that we should ensure the safety of old buildings. In this essay,I will analyze both perspectives. However,i side with the former view.There are multiple causes why people suggest to deconstruct old buildings into modern high rise buildings. Firstly,we are facing a serious issue of overpopulation in big cities. If we want to live peacefully in major big cities with this huge crowd,we have to make our buildings more bigger and better.For example,old traditional buildings are capable of holding 2 or 3 families,whereas new high rise buildings can be accommodation for a plethora of families,which also take same space as the old buildings. Secondly,old buildings do not provide a number of facilities that have been introduced recently. To put it another way,modern buildings now comes with a significant number of facilities, such as lifts, generators, and central air condition,which old traditional buildings are lacking to provide.
On the other hand,people who advocate that we should save the old traditional building have some their own points. A few old buildings hold a great value in terms of history. For instance,in Bangladesh,there are numerous royal palaces can been seen that are very valuable and filled with rich history; therefore,it is suggested that we should not demolish those buildings. Additionally,despite not having some historical value, some buildings hold one individual’s personal memories. To elaborate,childhood memories are deeply related to some people’s old homes; hence, they want to protect those buildings.
In my opinion,the problem rising population can only tackle by constructing new modern buildings that would have a great capacity to hold multiple families with beneficial amenities. Nonetheless,we should ensure that the historical building stayed untouched.
To sum up,modern buildings are very crucial to provide homes in this overcrowded population situation, but the government should look after that historical building stayed untouched.
