The following two posts will show the built environment throughout main spaces in urban areas within Trinidad. Main spaces here refer to mostly used physical environments such as the streets and buildings. It should be noted that there are a number of buildings within Trinidad that cater for the basic needs, one way or another,  of individuals with mobility and visual impairments such as banks, some government offices and other private establishments. However, entry to most of those buildings was limited either because we were not authorised to gain access or could not take photos. The majority of those buildings employed ramps and railings and the bank has a specially allocated line for such individuals.
