When I visited Oxford (UK) and Normandy (France) in 2018, I was struck by the contrast in architecture. We saw buildings in use everywhere that were hundreds of years old - and so beautiful.
By contrast, the library in my town was completely renovated ($11 million) because it was dated and aging at . . 20 years old.
But retaining the old does not always hold sway, I guess. See this example in Germany of replacing the old and beautiful with the dramatically new and modern.
