The Final Post

My intention for this blog was to gain an insight on urban areas and the culture in these areas. What I discovered was beyond my expectations. I started of with an outside look of the city of San Fernando in my first post, looking at the cultural aspects of the San Fernando hill and being interested in the culture of urban dwellers is influenced by it. As I created more posts each photo went more inside the city linking different aspects to culture. It was amazing to learn about the many types of cultures that can exist in the urban areas especially in the city of San Fernando, Trinidad.

After viewing my colleagues' blogs I can recognize a relationship with my main theme, 'urban and culture'. Kelly Bhim's blog on urban morphology showed various architecture that has effects on culture in the city from historical aspects to modern aspects which all affect culture in the urban. In Renuka Sookram's blog, "Urban Insights", many aspects of the urban such as residential areas and buildings can create their own cultures which links it to my theme. Also, in Colette Nelson's blog she directly links urban to culture showing that we ourselves create the urban and this creates urban culture itself.
