Capital Ideas
Ordinance 8-C (The Industrial Pollution Act) has failed. The city council has taken action to remove all industrial sectors (Ordinance 14-Q 'The Industrial Demolition Act'), resulting in a giant loss of air pollution in the city. The land has been redeveloped. Because it is no longer an industrial estate, the names of the city's districts will go back to pre-Ordinance 7-F (The Harney Merger Act) borders. What is Eloiseville will be renamed Harney again, and the new former industrial estate will become Eloiseville.
The small area encompassed by the red line was the former industrial estate, and now the new Eloiseville district. The line was drawn on the image after an upgrade to the Mirum's software made it capable of auto-labelling streets and districts. However, the auto-label function is still in its infancy, so we'll have to see.
Also, the satellite has been used for the SETI program, and will hopefully pick up traces of intelligent life.
But, however, due to the city's rising standings in the Barclay's Premiership (Major League Conventional Football for those not in the know), sponsorship offers are at an all time high, from transnationals like Nestle, Coca-Cola, and Unilever. Some in footballing circles say that the homegrown players of the squad are just as good as Manchester United in playing capability, after their 2-1 win against Fulham yesterday.
This picture, from the satellite Mirum, shows the Spoclety United stadium. To the right (north) of the stadium, is the famed University of the City of Spoclety and the City Fair. To the bottom (east), you can see the Spoclety International Airport Terminal 1&2. There are talks in the Council of building a third terminal. And, to the left (south) you can see Monumental Row, a collection of life-size replicas of many world landmarks, including the Empire State Building and the Bank of China Tower. This location is in the East Aversmith area, near the western side of the city.
Also, for the first time in decades, a form of transport other than the car is the most widely used. Walking. According to statistics collected by the city's Department for Demography and Data (DoDD), more citizens walk to work or home than drive a car, with using the city's Underway network coming a very close third.
Also, the city's long-term resident population has hit 900,000 with experts predicting 1,000,000 within some time. If the mark was hit, this would make Spoclety the second-largest metropolitian administrative area (after Birmingham - London is actually run by 40-odd bourough councils), and the third largest city (after Birmingham [1.1mn] and London [8.9mn]).
Spoclety has also been paired with the city of Lerherbridge, in South California. Stay tuned for their mayor to write about his city.
