How has your city changed over time?
In mid- 19th century the west had a lot of influence over Bangkok causing missionaries, envoys and merchants to begin revisiting Bangkok. By 20th century rural market zones in Bangkok began developing into residential districts. The memorial bridge was constructed in 1932 to connect Thonburi to Bangkok which is believed to promote economic growth and modernization in Bangkok. Bangkok has seen rapidly urbanization since its population hit 2 million in the 1960s. Rapid growth of the city continued through the 1980s and early 1990s, until it was stalled by the 1997 Asian financial crisis. But by then many public and social issues had already occurred such as massive traffic jams. Over time Bangkok grew and developed and still is developing at a rapid pace. As more and more buildings get built the more people travel and move to Bangkok.

Analysis: Bangkok is going to grow very fast and quickly, over time it will grow North West and North East. There going to move in that direction because that's the only real area to grow and the land there is what a city wants.
