    The Govt needs to rid downtown of those old derelict buildings the city is too small to have so many old buildings that are not historical.

      Brilliant comment. If the buildings arent historical they need to buy them out and build new upscale apartments and good security, that's how gentrification starts.

    Downtown need skyscrapers? One step at a time first we need a good water system, second a good fire service, third two new hospitals around Kingston to take the pressure of KPH then we can thing about building skyscrapers

      Not too sure about the schools... the birth rate is declining steadily so the new enrolment to schools are also declining. The currents schools are not so over crowded as they once were. Please check statin to see Jamaica demographic trends.

    First and foremost they will have moved the people out of those garrisons that Seaga and Manley institutionalized back in the 1970s. All of it has to go:Coronation Market; Tivoli Garden; Matthews Lane; Southside;Tel-a-viv etc. Only then will downtown Jamaica will be restored.
