①Economic development is necessary if we want to improve society. There comes a time when the old must give way to the new, and it is not possible to preserve everything from out past as we move towards the future. Finding and keeping the right balance between progress and the protection of cultural sits can be a big challenge.
②Big challenges, however, can lead to great solutions. In the 1950s...
③A committee was established to limit damage to...
④The project brought together governments and...
⑤When the project ended in 1980...
⑥The spirit of the Aswan Dam project still prevails today.
