Informal Shops, Sellers/Buyers & Pedestrians, Old and New Building Urbanism, Actual Width of Road versus Width Used for Commerce. /// INVISIBLE INFORMATION: Number of Users Walking or Shopping per Day, Distances Users Travel to come to this market (which serves the downtown area of Mumbai) /// CONTRIBUTION TO BETTER PLANNING: By gathering information of the number of users taking this road for grocery shopping or for accessing the nearby railway station, we can understand if the widths of the road encourage a healthy mix of walking and retail or deter pedestrian movement. By understanding this, we can better anticipate the surge in the number of users during the rush hours of the day, and can design street widths accordingly as well as assign special hawking and walking zones on the same single street. ][1] [1]: https://edxuploads.s3.amazonaws.com/14170317796398464.jpg
