Debate against the motion on "City development cannot take place
without destroying communities and lifestyles"

Reecha Upadhyaya · Accepted Answer

Dear Student,
Arguments against the motion "City
development cannot take place without destroying communities and
lifestyles" are:
1) At first, it is required to decode the word " development" in
this context Development may mean different for different people
So,it is important to focus as to whose developmental goal is the
city development targeting at
2) Secondly, it is imperative to recognise if the city
development is taking place externally or internally Meaning to
say, do the communities themselves want some changes in their
lifetsyles(internally) or the authorities are forcibly destroying
their lifestyles (externally) If the communities demand radical or
revolutionary restructuration, then it would be legitimate
3) It is also said, "Nothing is more certain than change" So, if
the society has to grow, it has to be dynamic and open for changes
Hence, with time the communities have to pay the cost of
development by shedding off their archaic lifestyles/ norms
