Development of a country depends on its quality of infrastructure. It is often believed that finances should be contributed towards the latest construction of brand new buildings, rather than renovation of old  places. I will discuss this notion in impending paragraphs and would reach on a valid conclusion

Beginning with, money should be given towards the new structure because of its modernised features. Many individuals want to upgrade their quality of living which is closely associated with the luxury one can afford, which is why people invest in construction of new spaces. Furthermore, these practical features also ensure safety within a space. Modern day kitchen chimneys, stabilisers, fire alarms are a good example of advanced technology that protects one from accidents. To put it clearly, modern time homes are much needed due to the evolution of technology. Also, we cannot neglect that structures such as apartments can accommodate an increasing population.

Alternatively, renovation of a building should be done as it holds cultural and emotional sentiments of a community.Many ancient temples, all over the globe, are not demolished despite its withering condition. Moreover, these places can earn a good revenue, if turned into a tourist spot. Hence, it will not cost a fortune from public funds, and would act as a source of a rising economy. One lucid illustration of this is palaces of Rajasthan, India. The palace owners have integrated with world renowned hotel changes in order to offer royal experience to an individual in return for money. Adding to this, people will have an example of old construction and would be aware of the past.

To conclude, I hold a mixed opinion on this notion because while new establishments will have modern features, we can also not deny that old properties will have emotions attached to it.
