　　How to deal with old buildings has long been a tough problem facing city planners. It costs too much money to refurbish and maintain, and the city does need more area to construct new buildings. However, the government still has to resist the pressure from people who call for pulling them down and allocate funds to protect them.

　　In the first place, we cannot afford to lose them, which are important in the flow of our culture through time. An old architecture helps people connect with the past and hence form their culture identity. For example, the old castles and churches in Britain tell local people what kind of lives their ancestors lived; the Forbidden City in Beijing, China, makes all Chinese people proud of their country. If the government fails to preserve those buildings, we will lose them forever. Even if we may rebuild them someday in the future, we cannot reproduce the history. As a result, our children can only learn history and culture through pictures.

　　In the second place, the historical and traditional buildings will promote development of local tourism and hence local economy. In modern society, travel has become an important part of people’s entertainment activities. The historical sites will attract numerous visitors, which not only ensures tickets revenue, but also means more business opportunities to local people. The coming visitors will take transportations, live in hotels, hire tour guides, buy souvenirs, and have dinner in restaurants. As a result, a series of job opportunities will be generated, so as to cater the needs of tourists. If the investment in the historical and traditional buildings achieves success, it will benefit people in the long term by a prosperous economy.

　　To sum up, it is highly necessary for governments to preserve old buildings which are important for the protection of history and economic development.
