There are several big trees and vegetation too. We can see some cars coming on the road. Also, in the background there are some buildings. Invisible Information: People use this public space for resting or like an important meeting point. Trees and vegetation provide shade and oxygen making comfortable this space. Piura is a city well-known for its high temperatures and solar radiation, for these reasons vegetation and specially big trees are very important here. We are constantly looking for shade and fresh winds. So, if we want to contribute to the planning of a more liveable urban space here we would have to keep in mind the importance of big trees, specially carob trees (natives in this city) and making sure we are considering them in our future designs.
