Gentrification In The City

Gentrification is the process whereby old buildings are given a 'face lift' or remodeled or renovated . The first picture above was taken to show the clear evidence of gentrification talking place as the front and side of the buildings are clearly differently structured.  Presently gentrification is also taking place in the red house where it  is being renovated to suit the development of the city.

As the city progresses some buildings are left behind or some as it ages , looks odd compared to the new ones. Boards are turned into concrete, stained glass turned into clear viewing masterpieces, its a makeover!
Gentrification is a good thing .. Its fresh and modern and some also conserve the local architectural
design of the city and buildings.

NEGATIVITY: As buildings become gentrified, urban gentrification often involves population migration as poor residents of a neighborhood are displaced. Sometimes homeless people are also displaced as they seek abandoned or unoccupied buildings to call home. When these are removed, they are forced to sleep in public parks and take shelter in the worst of places ..Some are also forced out of the city in Trinidad forming Gang activity and crimes :(
