In
relation to my blog, which looks at housing and architecture in Trinidad, I agree
with Jason Baptise and Leah Punch’s blog, where they supported the preservation
of historic buildings. From my perspective this maintains the architectural
diversity of the city and in turn; as they agreed it also adds aesthetic value
to the city.
Deneisha
Madray and Johannah Reyes spoke in their blog about the history of Port of
Spain as it was controlled by various colonial masters. And in relation to my
blog, the ancient buildings act as fixed documentation of these periods.
Gabrielle
and Duane spoke about gentrification in the blog just as I did. As we both
highlighted; Woodbrook is a perfect example of where this has taken place,
where some buildings have been renovated and
modernized increasing the cost of rent, and changing the
overall status and face of the people of the neighbourhood.
Thank you.
Can you please put up the links to the other blogs so we can read them through hyperlinks?
