So What to do Now.....

    When I think of the drastic differences that are seen daily in public areas, I sometimes, honestly, want to cry. Why you may ask? Because it is just one of those aspects of life that affects me personally. Every day I see changes within communities leading to the gentrification of these communities. I watch the skyscrapers continue to be built and think about other areas of the community that still needs work and a great improvement.

The Twin Towers and Nicholas Tower, Port-of-Spain.

    The changing of the landscape leads to a new developing future. The architecture becomes more powerful, making a statement and portraying great intimidating structures. The traffic becomes heavier as the urban city becomes more crowded and there is a greater migration of persons moving into the urban environment. It is recommended that more buildings be put into place to house homeless persons. Buildings that are of good quality and of high-class materials. This improvement might lead to a reduction in criminal activity. It is also recommended that more wealth be given to services in order to provide a better quality of service to the public. 

    Urban form and structure can usually paint a vivid picture as to what an urban area looks like or is destined to look like. This means that urban planning can be achieved by dissecting urban structure and form. A sense of planning would be a perfect aid in encouraging a more balanced urban environment. What do you think? :)
