1. People from various ethnic background - > mixed society ? Modern architecture on the left and footbridge - > Rich city enough to allow for onerous architecture Lighting system qnd traffic light system -> Regulated, security at night Bus stops qnd double deck busses -> Public transport has an important role Road and car -> Car and road seem to be the primary transport system (no bikes or tram can be seen) One guy carying his bag on the front and baby on the back (family)-> inform us on the way families are part of the society (the man in carying the baby, not the woman, they give hands to each other, would not happen in other countries) Trees -> Nature is present but with a limited role, no grass Car park on the right -> Importance of the car Clear weather -> does not seem to be too much polluted Footpath -> Infrastructure are developped for pedestrian as well Clean -> not a lot of garbage, presence of a bin 2. The large building on the left is a shopping centre, wich can eventually be deducted from the fact that there are no windows.
