Abstract
Urban generations in post-colonial cities have been characterized by the development of certain monuments, architectural edifices and socio-cultural infrastructural facilities. Most of these have, overtime, become dilapidated or are close to going into extinction, through their relevance to the urban milieu is not in question. Restoration of these legacies, in particular the cinema, would assist in the sustainable socio-cultural linkages of at least the immediate urban community.
