[CITIES XL PLATINUM] New city project "Eternity" (2)-Industries and Infrastructures

 Office industries in this city take huge attribution to the city's economy. Offices were used to located at the middle of this city. However, centralized urban planning led to serious congestion issues in the urban area of this city. To solve this issue, the government buildings moved to the far-west side of the city and lots of companies followed this tendency to moving companies' locations. As result, this city is having balanced traffic congestion.
 This area is specialized for IT companies. Four metro lines, five bus lines, and one expressway are helping commuters from in/out of this city.
 To increase the capability of carrying and receiving freights, I constructed one more airport that supports the freight side of the original airport. The train connection between these two airports was also constructed so many passengers and firms are getting benefits from the improvement of infrastructure.
 This city is an oil-rich city. The city's economy is also benefiting from the fuel industry. However, since oil facilities contaminate the air and occupying huge areas, all oil-related facilities are constructed or projected on the outskirts of the city. IT IS ALL BECAUSE OF NIMBY!!
 Wind generators on the hill. They're located at one of the highest hills in this city. About 30% of electricity is produced from here. The civil department of electricity is also located at the entrance of the 'Wind generators town'.
The most hated facilities in the city. In total, 11 wastes fields are running by civil government. These fields are located at the far South-Eastern part of this city. IT IS ALSO BECAUSE OF NIMBY!!

[NORMAL DAYS IN KOREA] Review on Jamsil baseball stadium

As an avid Lotte Giants fan, I could not miss an opportunity to watch a match held in Seoul. There was a match between Lotte Giants and Doosan Bears on 23rd June. I had no hesitance to buy a ticket for that. I went to the stadium with my friend, who is a fan of the Doosan Bears. The ticket costs approximately $10.5 per person (weekday fare/The second floor and Infield seats). It was a reasonable price. This is a waiting queue to enter the baseball stadium. I could see many Lotte fans visit here to root for Lotte as I do. Basically, Jamsil Baseball Stadium is a baseball stadium located between the business area and the residential area of Seoul. Thereby Jamsil Stadium always has relatively more fans than those of any other stadiums.  Food that I ate in the stadium. Well-grilled Korean BBQ was a nice choice for me during watching a game. This is one of the remarkable rooting chants(?) ever I experienced in my life. This is basically a chant that disturbs...

[URBAN PLANNING NEWS] New form of GIS, Alibaba's ET Brain (and my thoughts on it)

Two days left until the Winter Olympics finished in my home country! During my spare time, I read an article on the Olympics' official sponsors, and there was an interesting system that may greatly affect the usage of GIS in fields of urban planning and urban management. It was Alibaba's ET brain! <Image referenced from here > As Alibaba named it as a ' brain ', it literally works like a human brain . The human brain first gathers information received by sensory devices and delivers the gathers to the hippocampus.  It refers to the ET's <Data aggregation> . Secondly, the hippocampus will rehearse the received information in order to construct a stronger memory. Well just think of ' Stronger and more sophisticated hippocampus' for the step of 'Data convergence! Lastly, when the data are accumulated enough to calculate the fashion, like constructing a solid long-term memory , the 'Intelligent development...
