[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...

[URBAN PLANNING NEWS] How to avoid extreme coldness or hotness? and even polluted air?

It's actually been a while to post something on my blog!!! I am actually here today to talk about alternatives to paths we are using these days. The air outside often gets dirty and extreme, as an effect of global warming. Once, I experienced heat stroke last June and had to suffer from it for a week-long! Isn't this insane?! To mitigate this crazy problem, I would like to bring up with some innovative approaches to alter our paths from the ground to the underground. Yup, as you can expect, my suggestion to the issue is 'UNDERGROUND CITY' ! <Refeenced from  http://bizn.donga.com/travel/3/all/20171109/87188097/2 > For instance, a Canadian city, Toronto has a huge underground place under the downtown that enables citizens not to be harmed by freezing weather outside during the winter. Not only it created a space for citizens to be warmed, but it also created a new form of the urban center. <Coex mall, Gangnam, Seoul - Refer...

[URBAN PLANNING NEWS] Seoul's new urban planning scheme on restricting levels of buildings

<Referenced from  http://news.sbs.co.kr/news/endPage.do?news_id=N1004502750 > After the US military base decided to move its base from Seoul to the Southern part of Gyeonggi province, the Seoul government is thinking of placing a park in that place. However, in order to make landscape much prettier, Seoul newly set a standard for a limitation on maximum levels of building nearby. As a result, Seoul may reduce the negative externality produced by the urban heat island. I am pretty sure that the skyline of Seoul would look much better in 20 years later. It's time for SEOUL to give itself an innovation!
