In the image, we can see bus stops, a series of subway stations near the center of Seoul. The main information I can get in this image is pedestrians, taxis, cars, buses, buildings(apartments), and roads. The invisible information in this image is the route the buses and taxis take, a subway linemap, how many passengers use public transport, how many people are living in the apartments, what public transport passengers use most etc. One way to make the planning of a more livable urban space is to use the population living in this apartments and information of how many passengers use public transport. I think it can be characteristics that what jobs people in this area have is related to what transport people usually use to get their jobs. First, take a census in this area (especially apartments) and survey the use of public transport. Then information could be collected in regards of passenger trends with their jobs and this could be the knowledge. By using it, we can make this city livable by increasing hours of specific transport according to the jobs and trends of people living in this area.
