State / Council
Housing
In some countries the government provides state or council housing.
This helps people who cannot afford to buy their own house.
It can be argued that state housing creates dependence on the government.
People should not rely on the government to look after them.
People have no incentive to earn money and buy their own home.
Council properties are often made with cheap, poor-quality materials.
Old Buildings
Historic buildings are part of a country’s heritage.
They should be protected.
Old buildings are often considered to be works of art.
They give character to cities and attract tourists.
They show us how people lived in the past.
We identify countries by architectural symbols like the pyramids in Egypt.
Governments should spend money on looking after historic buildings.
They need regular repairs and maintenance.
New buildings should be designed to complement them.
Modern / Green
Buildings
Modern buildings should be designed to be environmentally friendly.
They should use less energy and produce less waste.
Modern insulation can make houses more energy-efficient.
Solar and wind power can be used to generate electricity.
Rainwater and waste water can be recycled and used to flush toilets.
Modern glass buildings take advantage of natural light.
