In the present circumstance, very few pieces of information about
Asian cffities except Japan are on the Web. They are no much for one in advanced countries. The few places where we get information are tourist sites. It is assumed very serious.

By the way, actual
city has urban planning.
It is for urging healthier city development,
looking steadily at future, and offer better people's living

inflastructures and rules, and building of fundamental
institutions.

the concept called city is thought to be
able to bear the future of internet.
