This week we are talking about how different cities choose to either preserve or replace older, historicbuildings. Some cities have strict rules about preserving older buildings and homes, especially those with historic architecture. Others tend to encourage new construction to replace structures that are aging and decaying. Should cities try to save historic buildings or replace them with more modern ones?
审题分析
1. 这个题重复了1.23日的家考题目。
2. 这是一个二选一的题目:保护older/historical building 还是 替换成modern ones.
但是题目背景中已经把这2种建筑的优缺点已经给我们暗示出来了。
--Older buildings and homes,包括 especially those with historic architecture.
这种建筑就很值得保护:
A. 就很有历史价值,就很值得保护。比如中国的故宫,紫禁城the Forbidden City; 罗马斗兽场:Colosseum…
B. 还可以带来经济收入,因为会吸引数百万人来旅游。
-- Replace structures that are aging and decaying
--题目也提到了有些城市想要替换的是“年老,失修,逐渐衰败”的老建筑。比如中国很多大城市中的城中村,棚户房…
替换成新建筑的好处也很多:
--更安全。老建筑在防火,安全等方面可能做得很不好,
--解决住房短缺。现代的高层建筑可以容纳更多人,解决城市住房短缺问题。
(最近很火的电视剧《小巷人家》其实也触及了这一话题。如果不旧城改造,都还是住平房的话,大量返回城市的人就没有立锥之地。当年返城知青只能挤在厨房过道睡,也很是心酸。)
参考范文:
Aligning with xx’s view, I advocate for governmental prioritization of these structures due to their economic and cultural value, especially vital during economic downturns. Historic sites offer authentic experiences that attract tourists worldwide, significantly boosting local economies. Take, for example, the Forbidden City in Beijing. This expansive and intricately designed site captures the essence of China’s rich history, drawing millions annually and supporting various local businesses, from hotels to transportation services.
While the notion of replacing old structures with modern buildings like skyscraper apartments might seem a practical solution to urban housing shortages, this approach overlooks viable alternatives such as suburban development. Additionally, demolishing historical buildings involves substantial financial and cultural costs that could otherwise be avoided.
In conclusion, it is more prudent for cities to conserve their architectural heritage. Preserving historical buildings not only safeguards cultural identity but also ensures continued economic benefits through tourism, outweighing the advantages of newer constructions.
