Benjamin Villa Bogotá, Colombia 1. Information that is visible in this photo: - There is an emblematic church in the city. - Buildings range from 2 to 10 stories in height. - Families, and various groups of people share the street. - The street is ruled by pedestrians. - There are 2 Colombian Flags. - The street is clean. - Urban infrastructure is present: garbages, streetlights, trees. 2. Two "invisible information": A. The weather and temperature corresponds to a tropical climate. People of different ages are walking with short-sleeved shirts, eating ice-cream and enjoying a pedestrian street comfortably. Green trees, and mountains in the background further signify a tropical climate. B. The downtown area of the city is positively seen by citizens and is widely used / densely populated. The large amounts of people on the pedestrian street, along with the recreational activities being performed help extract this invisible information. 3. Invisible information becoming knowledge of a more livable urban space: The downtown area being enjoyed by many citizens, and having a positive connotation, can help urban planners invest more resources in this area, and even plan further pedestrian streets to allow more citizens to enjoy this area.
