NOTES

• The street is devoid of human activity and have low surveillance levels. There are no functional street lights. • There are strong attempts at physical fortification of the residential units. Property “plots“ have fences constructed of CMU blocks, topped with barbed wire, shards of glass. A security gate is used to cross this threshold to access individual dwellings.
