Excellent Mangoes Urban Decay Cuisines

These two images are taken of two places I frequented to eat lunch in Port of Spain; Mangoes and the Food Court in Excellent Mall. I mostly enjoyed the cuisines in Excellent Mall but never really realized how old the building was and how much work is needed on it. If a stakeholder takes on the responsibility of renovation or upgrading a building which is deemed functional, they need to consider economic costs. This may be the prime reason these buildings are not renovated. If they are the trickle down effect will be felt by those establishments renting these buildings. Additionally, environmental concerns arises. Development of infrastructure will lead to noise and dust and even traffic build up. Certificate of Environmental Clearance (CEC) will need to be obtained from the Environmental Management Authority (EMA) for works to commence. These may be the drawbacks and a stakeholder is not willing to confront and so leaves the building to bring in as much profit as it can until it can no longer do so.
