According to Hinds, Portmore is now an investor's dream with the availability of human capital, extensive road networks, technology, and its proximity to one of the island's major international airports. In 2001, Portmore, combined with the community of Hellshire, according to the STATIN report, grew faster than Spanish Town, the capital, at an annual rate of 5.1 per cent, adding just fewer than 64,000, making a total population of 161,654.

Although this effort is ultimately unsuccessful, it points to Hunters view that an act of agency need not be successful to count as a meaningful way of engagement and of shaping the evolution of the city. In fact, this view corroborates and gives credence to his assertion that the truly disadvantaged (whose efforts may therefore not always be successful), can still be seen as citymakers (p.214). He goes on to write about housing reform efforts in the 1930s that lead to a lot of migration out of the neighborhood, a long and successful effort to stop the construction of a highway that would split a neighborhood as well as the successful election of W. Wilson Goode in 1983 as the first black Mayor of the region (p. 185). Throughout the book, Hunter provides examples of intra-political and intra-racial politics, which serve to remind us that history is not always so straightforward.
