This street goes through bridge towards cathedral, one of the most important and characteristic building in the city. VISIBLE INFORMATION As we can see, this street is not so wide but full of cars. It’s more pedestrian route than typical street adapted to handle traffic. Most of inhabitants use cars and in connection with small space it causes inellegant and unfriendly street view. This street is flanked by very old building an and goes towards cathedral. Ostrówek street could be much more attractive without cars. INVISIBLE INFORMATION 1. Ostrówek street is one of the most important street in Poznań with huge historical value that is connected with city very beginning and with great potential to become tourist attraction. 2. There’s not enough parking spaces around, what is not comfortable for inhabitants and not attractive for tourists. This invisible informations can show us main problem of this place and contribute to the planning of a more liveable urban space. To „heal” this place and restore it’s historical and tourist values we should think about cars amount and find another place to them, returning this street to pedestrians.
