FC-01x Future Cities (Self-Paced) - Exercise 1 : "Making the Invisible - Visible"
Uploaded on 2018-04-04 by Valenrg
Hi, I took this picture while on holiday in Dubai from the observation deck of the Burj Khalifa. The visible information show: 1. that Dubai downtown is mostly filled with skyscrapers and that is expanding in the desertic area around it, as there are constructions sites everywhere. 2. there is a fine "cloud/fog" on the city even in sunny days. 3. the roads around Dubai downtown are very wide What is the invisible information that we can extract? To point 2. the air quality might not be optimal, but only analysis can tell us what this fog/cloud actually is. To point 3. the city is already facing a traffic problem in the downtown area or wants to be ready for high flows of private cars, that apparently represent the most used mean of transportation at this time.
