So far we have seen 2 studies on urban imageries and its perceived safety / physical appearance, then validating them with statistics. How do we reveal interactions happening within these urban spaces rather than simply 'reading' its appearance. Can we see whether a certain space induces certain actions? For example, whether the park in front of the mayor's office is more likely to induce more congregation of people such as protests than the market.
