The high density of the area and also the fine weather are the visible information here. What can be inferred are the likely uses for these buildings (likely to be offices/ hotels given the closed windows and proximity of the buildings). The invisible information here is on the roads and connecting streets. Given the nature and density, there ought to be more roads and streets that are shown. As connectivity is an important factor for liveability, I would choose to look more closely at the roads and streets, find out data on the various modes that uses the streets, number of lanes for vehicles and whether are there any bike/ bus lanes and also width of the sidewalk etc to better understand how pedestrian experience could be like and also how these are connected to the buildings.
