Many city planners assert that wherever a practical, utilitarian need for new buildings arises, this need should take precedence over the interest in preserving historic buildings, which leads to the phenomenon that old buildings are gradually removed in the city.

The negative effects of removing these old buildings are obvious. First of all, buildings represent a valuable record of any society’s past uniquely represent a bygone era. Secondly, a building might be one of a few that represents a certain architectural style, it contains aesthetic as well as historic value.?

As a result, we should weigh up the practical needs the aesthetic value on whether to remove an old building to construct a new one. The planners can either maintain aesthetic historic value or use the old buildings for modern purposes without damaging its original value.?
