Uploaded on 2020-05-08 by Xenofon Trachanis
The photo below comes from the city i live,called Kato Achaia.It is a city of 50.000 people,19km away of Patras.In this photo we can see roads,pavements,buildings,cars,motorcycles,traffic lights,signs etc.All the above can be mentioned as visible information.Concerning the invisible information of the above photo we could consider the movement of the inhabitants in the town as well as the one of the different means of transportation during the day.That means that there is a lot of traffic jam in the morning than at night because there are people everywhere.Others going to their work,children going to schools and a lot of means of transportation around whereas this doesnt happen at night when everything is calm and quite. Another invisible information that we could think about by using technology might be the influence of the above movements on the polution of the enviroment.We take this seriously into consideration as we want our fellow citizens to be healthy,our surroundings to be safe and sound our urban system to be well constructed,unpolluted and well-being.So the more information we take out of the above the better knowledge this can become for our town and its inhabitants in terms of being a sustainable city,a Future City!
