Therefore, based on this picture, we can see on the scenery, a square, many trees, some cars, seats, people walking, people sitting, a boy skateboarding on the acoustic shell, a small place to drink water, streetlights and a church in the background. However, what we can’t see only by the picture is that this square is the principal of the city, and so many people pass by it every day. The streets can’t support the amount of cars during the day and there is no place to park without paying, there is a big conflict between people and cars because of the commerce. In this place, there is the principal church of the city, and the square isn’t used for nothing special. With a good planning, this square could be one of the biggest points of the city, could have music shows and presentations, appreciation of art, could have a local commerce to people work with artesanal products, for example. Be a real PUBLIC square, destined to the people of the city and not just one more square in the city like it is, all based on a good planning.
