[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.

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

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!
