In it, we can see a lot of visible information, their main buildings, leisure areas, such as public squares, tourist routes also frequented by tourists visiting the city. The picture also shows public parking areas and some bus stop, among any other information. Among the invisible information that we can extract, there is: 1. The volume of users demanding public parking place, whether visitors or locals, this information is collected through equipment that register inputs / outputs in those parking vehicles throughout the year. 2. Another invisible information that could be identified, is the number of users of public bus network in each period of the year. This amount varies depending on the season and is collected through electronic equipment to transmit information from each bus to central data service, which is managed by company that provides this service. About describing, how this invisible information can become knowledge and contribute to the planning of a more liveable urban space. As I mentioned previously, with respect to Volume of Users Demanding Public Parking Space, this information is collected throughout the year, and made available to municipal agencies responsible for planning organization, who according to demand, enable greater or less space available to meet this demand and allocate part of the parking space to other uses. For example, on specific dates, when is required to have a parking area for recreational use (fairs, amusement park for the enjoyment of children, etc), this information is reviewed and considered, to be able to support both uses: parking and leisure. ][1] [1]: https://edxuploads.s3.amazonaws.com/14137200755003949.jpg
