The level of development in Sea Lots and the inner parts of the city can be compared through the many differences in infrastructure, culture and politics. In Sea Lots the highly utilized medium of infrastructure is ply-wood sheets and galvanizes and can be compared to the huge, high rise, concrete and glass buildings that are located in the city. 

The lack of development is visible as the power of the state is focused on the city and the gentrified areas are disadvantaged in terms of proper governance that is much needed in Sea Lots.

“Local movers came disproportionately from lower status socioeconomic categories and evinced a relatively high rate of downward mobility.” This is evident in the downward mobility of the sea lots residents that have a low quality of life. (Michal Lyons, 1996)
