Uploaded on 2020-05-04 by Shaam
The visible information: 1) The heavily occupied parking zones. 2) The overall layout of the road and the materials they have used to make it. 3) The buildings that are very closely built to one another. 4) Poor infrastructure. The invisible information: 1) The high number of inhabitants in this area. 2) High traffic that can be caused on busy days. Walking/driving etc. 3) Inconvenience that can occur due to the current infrastructure. 4) How the drainage systems might react during the wet monsoon. If we take correct measures of traffic, parking and it's regulations in this city we can possibly look at a future that will provide more public space, thus creating more flow and space to strengthen the infrastructure. Most of the motorcycles are private - we can avoid the increase of these vehicles by providing a more stable public transportation since it will be really easy to establish a full service in the total 5 square kilometers of the whole city and by reducing the number of private vehicles. This will also result in clean air and less noise pollution in these less ventilated areas and buildings that have no ventilation is some cases.
