In the past, buildings often reflected the culture of a society, but today, world are becoming more and more similar. Why is this the case? Is it a positive or negative development?

It is common that ancient 1architecturearchitectures are constructed with local distinctive culture, 2reflecting their appearancesreflecting on their appearances, styles and materials. However, 3at the present dayat present day, new buildings are established in a similar style. From my perspective, 4as technology advancesas technolo gy upgrading, more 5convenientconvinent materials appear. However, uncharacteristic buildings 6areis a negative trend for the diversity of the world.

7There are several causes. First, construction materialsThere are some causes, the construction materials are easy to buy and use. On the other hand, 8as the population boomsas population booming, more citizens means less use of land in an area, making the price of land become more and more expensive. As a result, the architects 9devisecontemplate some effective ways to design the same style of building by using the same materials, such as steel and concrete. For example, a tall building is the most common type 10inamong the center of many cities, making it possible to 11make the most of limited landuse as much as the limited land. Therefore, distinctive regions become more and more similar.

12Different regions present the identical style of building, showing no features would be a negative 13developmentdeveloment. First, losing 14characteristicscharasteristics would make these cities attract 15fewerless tourists to come, reducing the tourism revenue consequently. Especially, 16This is especially true for renowned cities that rely on tourism.the renowned cities which relies on the tourism. In addition, the town 17settlers who make a livingsettlers who making livelihood mainly by selling artefacts or 18souvenirssouveniors in the attraction spots will lose their jobs. Moreover, it will 19have an adverse impact onbring adverse implication to the local economy. As a result, as income declined, residents feel less satisfied and 20experience a lower sense of well-beingreceive less well-being.

In conclusion, 21abundantabandant identical constructions are built mainly because designers prefer to use accessible and cheap raw materials, and the price of land is also in consideration. 22HoweverWhereas, similar buildings form the identical appearance of travelling cities, which will decrease local economy by being less attractive.
