  It is common these days that most cities have been redesigned with some old buildings torn down and news construction built up. Although some claim that it is always the right thing to do for government to request for removal of original housing and commercial regions to build larger structures, I can hardly agree with this opinion.

  It has to be admitted that construction of new structures can definitely lead to better planning and development. By that I mean in most parts of the world, many towns and cities were designed or built decades or centuries ago, which can hardly meet the demand for the swelling population size. Thus, it is a wise decision for local authorities to relocate and accommodation the people by completing a series of new constructions, like hospitals, roads or schools, in order to guarantee a comfortable and convenient living for every citizen. For example, in Chengdu, a city with a large population of over 13 million in China, every old housing unit in the city center has been removed and instead, new metro stations and railway lines have been under construction, bringing enormous benefits for local commuters who have been struggling in the bumper-to-bumper traffic on weekdays. So it is evident enough that new construction is the right thing for local governments to do, but is it always right for local governments to do so? This has been gaining serious doubts.

  No one can deny that many local residents feel reluctant to leave their places. We all know such good virtues as being sacrificing personal interest for the communal benefits, but in fact, having been living for decades in their original places, many people are readily accustomed to living conditions, with little expectation or enthusiasm to migrate to other places. When knowing policies from the authorities,mandatory or not, local residents, with disappointment or anger, are likely to act aggressively to protest. For example, last year in my community, an 80-year-old man, suffering from chronic lung caner and lying on the bed, was asked to move out his house because his house and the entire neighbourhood were planned to be redeveloped into an overpass to alleviate urban traffic problems in rush hours. This old man insisted that he would rather die on the bed than move to other places and finally the construction ended up with failure. To some extent, local residents are not always satisfied with government policies.

  In conclusion, I do admit that it is the right thing for government to relocate houses and businesses and build new constructions but if the authorities act against personal or public interest, it is absolutely wrong and unjustifiable.
