Introduction

Urbanatic central is the place where you can find an array of old and new developing issues in the urban spaces of Trinidad. The major focus is on the character of the nations main urban city Port of Spain and also new developing major cities as well including San Fernando, Chaguanas etc. Port of Spain's official population is relatively small, and reflects the narrow city boundaries including the central business district and a number of economically depressed and a few upscale adjoining suburbs. In addition to the official population, the adjacent East-West corridor conurbation has a population close to 600,000 people and the "big city" feel with its suburban car dominated commuting. The oldest part of the city is the downtown area (colloquially referred to as "Town", and pronounced by Trinis similar to the word "tong"), between South Quay (to the south), Oxford Street (to the north), the St. Ann's River (to the east), and Richmond Street (to the west).
