No one is walking. **2. Two invisible information:** **(ONE)** Citizens do not understand that the sidewalk is a public space not an extension of their houses. They cover the sidewalks with inappropriate materials making the ground slippery. The public administration does not make campaigns to awareness about the public space nor take actions to preserve it. **(TWO)** The sidewalks of the whole city are not adapted to accessibility. It is quite hard to walk through the city. In this case you can see that the surface is not continued, making very difficult the route for someone in wheelchair, nor for aged people and even young people. In my case I had an accident walking with my dog. It is not nice to walk through Monterrey, it is a city designed for cars not for people and their sidewalks talks by themselves. **3. How this invisible information can become knowledge and contribute to the planning of a more liveable urban space** **(This is a mix between information above):** Definitely the sidewalks are a very important part of the urban network, this information can help to build a better system for all kind of pedestrians, inviting people to leave cars and to occupy the public space. Also it can impact in a healthier life through walking promenades (Currently Mexico is the first country in the world in overweight and obese children, and second in adults). Today Monterrey does not invite to walk, to live and to enjoy their streets, walking nor biking.This information also talks about the inefficient public transportation in the city, making more comfortable own a car and making blind citizens about the importance of a liveable urban space. Municipality must do a strong campaign raising awareness about the positives impact of a good city, improving public transportation and building a public space designed for people.
