FC-01x Future Cities (Self-Paced) - Exercise 1 : "Making the Invisible - Visible"
Uploaded on 2016-12-06 by Abdullah Hawary
For the first "invisible information", it may not be very clear in the photo, however Riyadh contains very visible construction cites throughout the city. The "invisible information" extracted from these are; when the construction is completed there will be new life given to the structure, whether it is a recently finished hospital where doctors can take care of people or business offices. For the second "invisible information", in the middle of the photo there is a very high density of buildings which indicates the increase of the population distribution towards that particular area, and therefore affecting things like traffic flow, and urbanization. Since there is a greater number of people in that particular area, there will be more businesses to take advantage of the greater amount of people. This will affect the geographical locations and distribution of things like restaurants, shopping malls, and other services that tend to the human population.
