Upload a photo from your area, or the closest urban area, (the photo must be taken by you) and comment all the information that is visible in this photo: Library building to right Pedestrian walkway in centre, leading to mixed-use office building Residential building on right Advertisements for businesses pedestrian ramp leading to another road Identify and present two "invisible information" that can be extracted out of the visible information of this photo: Use of pedestrian walkways Use of community library services Select one of your choices from the previous question and describe how this invisible information can become knowledge and contribute to the planning of a more livable urban space: Analysis of the use of pedestrian walkways in the city can help build information models about how people travel into and out of the city centre. Using the knowledge generated by these models, planners can create a city which is more accessible to people of all classes. They can also measure the pedestrian data vs transport data and try to promote more sustainable ways to travel into, out of and around the city
