In the previous post, I identifed some features of Port of Spain relating to that of The radiant City with respect to the presence of towers or skyscrapers. I would also like to focus on Jane Jacob's Vison of the City as well by which aspects of it can also be seein in Port- of - Spain. Ms. Jacobs introduced four princples for a good city: mixed uses, ( Port-of Spain is used for economical, political and cultural uses to name a few) mixed blocks with differnt age strutcures (in Port of- Spain there is a mixture of old and new buildings, temporary infrasture for informal economical use as well), numerous corners and a dense concentration of people (Port- Of-Spain is always filled with people on a daily, regular basis). Ms. Jacobs believed that the above prinicples are ingredients in encouraging a lively and diversed urban area.
