International Development: Prince Charles' charity to redevelop Bob Marley's Trenchtown

Prince Charles' architectural charity, is to rejuvenate Trenchtown - a Jamaican ghetto and home to reggae legend Bob Marley.

The rundown concrete high-rise buildings, which have become overrun by gunmen, will be replaced with traditional lime-washed bungalows and palm tree-lined streets.

Trenchtown, in Kingston, was mentioned in Marley's classic hit "No Woman, No Cry" and the redevelopment will take place near Marley's old home Culture Yard.
