From the image,we can see that the area is planned in a grid pattern.All the roads are connected to each other and there is hierarchy in roads.Another visible information that can be seen is that the main spine has a lot of commercial outlet but the interior is a residential area.The invisible information that can be extracted is that 1. it does not have any open space or community gathering space 2.it does not have a proper pedestrian walkway. The entire area is filled with commercial and residential outlets making the zone a concrete jungle.There is no way the space could breathe out.Adding a community gathering space would have a very positive impact on the area and encourage people to socialize more.Having a green space or a park also improves the air quality of the area.A small park or square can be planned and it can act as the social hub of this area.More and more trees can be planted in those green pockets and the pollution level can be minimized to a greater extent.
