Uploaded on 2017-03-05 by Anna A.
In this photo we may see the following visible information – a residential building, an office building, a supermarket, a river, a road with cars, some pedestrians crossing. Two invisible information that can be extracted from the photo: 1) Road with cars may give us information on the traffic and its congestion levels 2) A residential building may give us information on the number of people living there and their ages, an average occupancy of an apartment, real estate prices. How this information can help in planning a more livable urban spaces? Choosing the 1st one, I would say, that knowing the road loads, urban planners may come up with decisions on traffic flows redistribution or changing the work of traffic lights to increase road's capacity.
