The picture above shows a  homeless person standing by the post on Chaguanas Main Road . Homelessness is a common issue which prohibits the development of the urban areas. The picture is associated with homelessness in the area of Chaguanas Trinidad.

In the reading of The Ordinary City, Amin and Stephen Graham, there is no real urban equity or unity here, only the totalization of one particular urban rhetoric (Beauregard 1996). Urban cities have its divisions of social classes of people as status that people acquired are based on their class. For example in the core of the city it is centralized and developed having buildings where work places are associated and job opportunities are rampant. However within the skirts of the cites homeless people live.
