Protection or destruction?

Wudadao, an eminent historic block with European style architecture located in Tianjin, is in danger. In the name of protection and redevelopment, rampant demolition threatens the integrity and value of the architectural treasure, says the Southern Weekend. Excerpt:

Wudadao is situated in the former British concession of Tianjin, rekindling memories of classical European architecture.

It is a very precious cultural heritage not just for Tianjin but the whole country. However, the block is now staring at demolition and destruction. Many elegant European-style old houses will be demolished to make way for a shopping and entertainment center.
