Develop a Livability Analysis Tool- Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP).

Project name: Develop a Livability Analysis Tool-
Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP).
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Client: Lindsay (Banks) Bayley, Senior Planner, University of Redlands.
Need:- Achieve Greater Livability through Land Use and Housing.
- Manage and Conserve Water and Energy Resources.
- Expand and Improve Parks and Open Space.
- Promote Sustainable Local Food.
Related Concept:
Natural Resources, Urban planning, My future dream project.
Approach: Achieving livability is: consider the human and community development aspects of planning, strengthening the sustainability and  result in a comprehensive approach to shaping where we live. By using Modelbuilder model with accompanying geodatabase for use by CMAP’s GIS Analyst and Output is a raster image with “heat map” rating of livability, and ranking of each indicator.
Deliverables:
•Bi-weekly status updates via email
•Literature review of livability measures, particular attention to MPC’s BRT Analysis: “Chicago's New Route to Opportunity”
•Modelbuilder model with accompanying geodatabase for use by CMAP’s GIS Analyst
•Sample analysis for a Chicago community area
Project name: USGS Historic Topos
----------------------------------------------------------------
Client: Mr. Charlie Frye, ESRI.
Need:
- Make the USGS historical topographic maps useful to a general and wide audiences.
- Create an education-oriented story map for geomorphology students that illustrate the USGS’s top 100 landform types.
- A simple application for creating a useful shareable URL of a map and/or a printed map that includes a citation and maybe some basic annotation.
Related Concept: Topographic Maps, Online Historic Maps, Cartographic Topographic Symbols.
Approach: Collection and classified of  the old topographic maps, scanning of these maps, then create a geographic database to store archiving Images and properties of these maps by use ArcGIS Desktop .
Created interface application to display the Timeline of  old topographic map of the United States to use the program ArcGIS API for Silverlight.
The last Publishing Web timeline interface.
