Uploaded on 2018-10-25 by Silvan Li
This photo is taken on a bridge that leading into downtown Los Angeles. Visible information, we can see cars are waiting in front of a red light. Even though, there aren’t too many cars showing in the photo. However, Los Angeles’s traffic problem is among the worst in the US. Due to the poor construction of the city, everything is so spread out. Secondly, we can see all those skyscrapers and business buildings straight ahead. Just by the amount and height of those building can easily shows the economic development of the city center. Invisible Information that could be possibly gather from this photo can be how many people are traveling into the city everyday. Also by tracking how many people travel into downtown with public transportation. Also by tracking the data of how much electricity is use during the night can show us where the energy went during the nigh where nobody is actually in the building. In LA, we need to develop better public transportation so less people would need to drive through all the traffic into the city center and not find a parking spot.
