Some heritage sites carry significant cultural and historic symbolism for the community. However, when countries have to balance between progress and history, it is often inevitable that such heritage sites are losing relevance to make way for future development. When such heritage sites are removed, the fear is that the memories and identity of the community will be lost.

Evaluate if the functions and purposes of heritage sites continue to keep their significance while nations develop.
