INTRODUCTION

           According to the Economic Glossary, resource allocation is the process of dividing up and distributing available, limited resources to competing, alternative uses that satisfy unlimited wants and needs.

          In the urban city, there are many divisions separating each part of the city. Within these urban cities, there are constant changes as well as growth continues; thereby creating 'new' cities. As a result, different models such as; Burgess' model, Ullman and Harris and so on. These models then show a distinct difference within the urban areas of the city such as housing settlements.

          My aim is to show how little the resources are located on the Eastern side of Port-of-Spain, Trinidad with regards to housing and settlement.
