In the foreground of the picture, there is a horizontalized city portion. The background displays a more verticalized area. These areas have differences in density, building use, height, and typology. There is a variation of typography and the presence of vegetation. There are light/utility poles and a visible storm drain indicating infrastructure networks. People are commuting by private vehicles and public transportation (bus). Streets are large and bumpy, the sidewalks are narrow and bumpy Invisible information 1: People who live in this area are not at a walking distance from many city activities, indicated by narrow sidewalks and commutes mainly by vehicles. Invisible information 2: This area has overflowing rainwater problems due to the irregular topography and a small amount of storm drains. Bumpy streets and sidewalks are part of the consequences. By collecting the data on the existent amount of storm drains and combining it to precipitation rate and topography of this area a simulation could be done to predict the water flow rate and point out the necessary changes in infrastructure to avoid overflowing. Solving the rainwater problem would provide a more walkable sidewalk and durable streets with less maintenance, assuring an evenhanded public space.
