Brazil, Porto Alegre
FC-01x Future Cities (Self-Paced) - Exercise 1 : "Making the Invisible - Visible"
Uploaded on 2017-02-20 by Bianca Morandi da Silva
Hello, My image is in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The neighborhood where the picture was taken is a rich zone, with a lot of big and expensive houses. Porto Alegre is a industrial, tourist, economic and important city for the region and the country, and nowadays is one of the most violent cities in the country, unfortunately. Because of that, all the residences have grids to protect the citizens from robberies. We have many different zones in the city: some have more buildings, more houses, poor regions, industrial regions, hills regions and others. We can see this difference is the photo. I think that a invisible information could be the transport analysis of population. I believe that the residents in the area of this picture don't use public transportation. Other invisible information could be how the population change their habits in an effort to avoid violence. The security systems are more sophisticated and we are always paying attention on what happens near us.
