Observations in London was a bit hard because I had travel around all the city to determine the problems that urban commuters encountering. It was actually fun to take all the pictures and to actually see the problems however it was a bit tiring activity to walk around the city for days.

Inspiration
The main inspiration of the project comes from urban life-style and its obstacles. With the growing world people are more tended to move to bigger cities and it causes congestion which causes delays in people's daily routines.The project aims to find a alternative solution for urban commuters.
