The visible information here is: - The Cafés located in this intersection - The lamp posts and electrical cables - The parked car Invisible information we could take from this photo: - Type of people who visit the cafés - Level of noise of the intersection (cars, people, buildings around it) If we take into account the type of people who visit the café into planning the neighborhood, we would have to determine what this group is looking for. If the people who visit the café are young couples with no children who work in the area, it would have a different impact from families with two or more children who attend schools nearby. A family is more likely to use a car, as young people prefer riding bikes in Santiago because of the cost of driving. For that reason, the area would have to be prepared for either bikes or cars, or a mix of the two.
