mixed used train-tracks/market place...
I've used similar videos in my classes and students are usually quite shocked to see how a city like Bangkok, Thailand operates. I've used this as a 'hook' for lessons of population growth, urbanization, economic development, sustainability, megacities and city planning.

For GIS day, I not only celebrate ESRI, but also want to acknowledge the open-source GIS community. This site provides many resources for those seeking to try out QGIS or other GIS platforms, but haven't known where to start. Via Seth Dixon

I've been playing around with QGIS for a few weeks, and while I think ArcGIS is significantly more user-friendly, I love that QGIS is available for those of us that don't have thousands of dollars to spend on GIS software. I've also found that QGIS runs much quicker (presumably from its smaller files). Ultimately, I'm a huge fan of any information or technology that's specifically designed to be accessible to all who want it, and QGIS certainly fits the bill.

I haven't delved into QGIS as of yet, but am toying around with it for the future (especially for my 'pre-GIS' class that doesn't exist yet called 'Mapping our Changing World.')

This is another free GIS option (this one an open source option). This is a full-blown GIS, with more mapping, editing and exporting options. Via Seth Dixon Delete the scoop?
