Uploaded on 2020-01-31 by Paula Monastoque
This photo was taken by me in Ciudad Bolívar, Bogotá. This is a slum of the city where we can see a transportation system that helps to connect the people that lives on the top of the mountain with the rest of the city. This part of the city is most residential and with low incomes, with lack of urban equipment, as we can see. Invisible information: 1). Daily passengers that travel in the transportation system. 2). How many people lives in every house. In this part of the city there are large groups of people that lives there because of forced displacement, and for other different reasons. So, this could be a reason for overcrowding. With regards to the second invisible information, if urban planners of the city can re-organized this part of the city (Ciudad Bolívar) in terms of improving quality of live of their inhabitants by measuring at least if they are overcrowding and also building urban equipments.
