Should Dresden be a UNESO World Heritage Site - WWYD Giveaway #2
Alright so last week I decided to post a fun little giveaway idea with a what would you do situation. I feel like it went pretty well and could be a fun idea for the future to create a new situation for you guys to answer to each week. Last weeks winner is @travelnurse who won 0.261 SBD! Because I am traveling I cannot post a screenshot of the transfer, but you can go look at her wallet if you would like to double check I sent the money. I know the amount is not a ton, but as the contest grows so will the winners payout! Plus it is super easy to enter.
So this week the question revolves around the city of Dresden in which I currently staying. This bridge down below made UNESCO remove the city of Dresden as a world heritage site. Is a new addition to the otherwise historical environment of the city justification for removing the title of a world heritage site? Was UNESCO right or too harsh? Does the bridge fit in with the city of Dresden?
Explain what you would do as UNESCO and why in the comments down below and upvote to enter this giveaway! It also helps if you share so we can get more participants! Winner is chosen randomly and will get SBD made off the post.
Good luck and see you next week!

Well, NO!
A "heritage" should actually mean a heritage. When we visit a city expecting to go to some historical place which is conserved as a heritage, we don't expect to see modern high rise buildings or technological marvels like a giant 4-lane metal structure in the heart of that city bisecting the valley into two. The city administration was aware that such construction would take away this title and yet they went ahead with it. The bridge was inaugurated four years after the de-listing by UNESCO. I agree that there must be some pressing requirement for it to ease the commutation or something. So the government there must have weighed the pros and cons of it and decided to go ahead with this project. So UNESCO did the right thing to de-list it, discouraging other heritage sites in the process to undertake similar heritage-destroying moves.
But I'd advocate listing of other monuments of the city if they are worthy as heritage monuments, if not the whole city.
UNESCO was too harsh. I would have advocated for keeping the city as a world heritage site. The history of Dresden has not disappeared, it is just being added too. Someday that bridge will be historic too.
