Picture taken from 20th floor of Copan building in Sao Paolo - Brazil. It is visible that the city of Sao Paolo in Brazil is an urban centre with high density, it is possible to see the city has loads of communication antennas and the city centre is an residential and commercial area at same time, since is possible to see the State Court building from a residential building, the city has a big number of skyscrappers. It is possible to extract two invisible information from visible information: First of all, Sao Paolo has a large communication network and there is a large amount of cellphones in this area. Second, we can infer that the city centre is hybrid commercial and residential area because a certain amount of people is more willing to afford an expensive rent next to work then to face the city's traffic. People that can afford a rent at city centre could move to suburb since the public transport system were more effective.
