FC-01x Future Cities (Self-Paced) - Exercise 1 : "Making the Invisible - Visible"
Uploaded on 2019-02-28 by Chi Zhang
I took this photo at noon on the overpass, facing north. In the middle, it is the West 3rd Ring Road with guide signs on both sides, and we can see the traffic condition is good at this time. On the left, there is a white building, which is the International Culture Mansion in the Capital Normal University. On the right, there are several residential buildings. Then, about the two invisible information in this photo, one is the traffic volume on this road. I counted about 40 cars on one line in the coming direction passing by the overpass in one minute. The other one is the land usage of this area, which includes the educational district and resident lots. At last, I want to say more about the latter information. If we can investigate the population living and studying in this area, and calculate how many public facilities should be provided, we could make suggestions to improve the living conditions here. Actually, as a member of a nearby community, I know this area lacks of markets and restaurants. But with further information, we could know the desirable numbers and locations.
