In this picture taken from a 4th floor we can appreciate a lot of different visible information. We can see the size and location of buildings. We can see the direction and amount of traffic in the streets. We can also see empty or usable spaces and in some buildings we can distinguish between parkinglots and and usable spaces. We can also see complete buildings and buildings under construction. On the invisble information, we could learn the location, people in the streets are travelling. And we could also figure out the type of people that are intrested in living in the buildings under construction. Knowing this two would be very useful in planning and designing a city, since we would be able to know the most convinient location for different typologies of buildings, depending on the amount and type of people living in the near the place, and the amount and type of people travelling near a place.
