The City of Santa Clarita’s new streetscape design incorporates the towns history into the new design. New seating and planting areas have a western feel that ties back to Santa Clarita’s western history and the Western Walk of Fame plaques were laid out in the new paving. I worked from the beginning of the project to help create preliminary designs and construction documents. Old Town Newhall is a large scale project and required a lot of work to create the preliminary designs’ presentations. Within the office we had two different concepts and I was involved in helping impute and finish the final product for city review. I was also involved in creating the final construction documents for biding and construction. A modern western design would allow several gathering spaces for visitors and be visually interesting.

As Europe's leading economic powerhouse and the fourth-largest hashtag#economy globally, Germany stands at the forefront of innovation and industrial might. Renowned for its precision engineering and high-tech sectors, Germany's economic structure is heavily supported by a robust service industry, accounting for approximately 68% of its GDP. This economic clout and strategic geopolitical stance position Germany as a focal point in the global cyber threat landscape.
In the face of escalating global tensions, particularly those emanating from geopolitical disputes with nations like hashtag#Russia and hashtag#China, hashtag#Germany has witnessed a significant uptick in targeted cyber operations. Our analysis indicates a marked increase in hashtag#cyberattack sophistication aimed at critical infrastructure and key industrial sectors. These attacks range from ransomware campaigns to hashtag#AdvancedPersistentThreats (hashtag#APTs), threatening national security and business integrity.
🔑 Key findings include:
🔍 Increased frequency and complexity of cyber threats.
🔍 Escalation of state-sponsored and criminally motivated cyber operations.
🔍 Active dark web exchanges of malicious tools and tactics.
Our comprehensive report delves into these challenges, using a blend of open-source and proprietary data collection techniques. By monitoring activity on critical networks and analyzing attack patterns, our team provides a detailed overview of the threats facing German entities.
This report aims to equip stakeholders across public and private sectors with the knowledge to enhance their defensive strategies, reduce exposure to cyber risks, and reinforce Germany's resilience against cyber threats.

NATIONAL LEVEL PERSPECTIVE
·Naya Raipur falls within the East – west urban corridor .
·In the east-west corridor connecting Mumbai to Kolkata, Nagpur and
Nasik have developed as metropolitan region, but a gap has been
formed between Nasik to Kolkata.
·In central India, no metropolitan cities have emerged to cater the
service population. In the absence of Metropolitan region in Central
India, the prospect of Raipur–Naya Raipur City to develop as a major
metropolitan region is very high.
STATE LEVEL PERSPECTIVE
At State level the maximum concentration of urban settlement is
along NH-6, which links Raipur and its surrounding region with
Eastern India to Western India.
The corridor has been the major transportation route for raw
materials from the State of Bihar, Orissa and Chhattisgarh, which is
further transported to industrially developed area in the western
India.
The major agglomerations in this corridor are:
·· Raipur Urban Agglomeration and Durg - Bhilai Urban
Agglomeration. The strong linkages can be seen in this corridor
where more than 40 percent of Chhattisgarh urban population
resides.
The development along the section of NH-6 towards Raipur, and
Mahasamand is also formed. NH6 connects the state with Kolkata
and Visakhapatnam via Bheemunipatnam.
Most of the urban settlements have come up due to easy connection
with Kolkata and Vishakhapatnam.
·Arang is also developing as major urban node in the corridor.
·Based on locally available resources, such as minerals,
forests, and agriculture, industrial growth has taken place
in the corridor with the establishment of cement, iron,
aluminum industry and production of energy.
·More than 600 large & Small-scale industries have been
established.
·Industrial estates at Urla, Siltara and Borai are located in
and around Raipur and Bhilai town.

Relief and Topography
In general, the surrounding Region has a gentle topography
with slopes ranging between 0% to 5%. The maximum
elevation in the Region occurs close to Abhanpur in the
south (327m) whereas the lowest areas in the Region are
along the Kharun and Mahanadi rivers (257m).
Geography
Raipur is located near the centre of a large plain,
sometimes referred as the "rice bowl of India", where
hundreds of varieties of rice are grown. The Mahanadi
River flows to the east of the city of Raipur, and the
southern side has dense forests. The Maikal Hills rise on
the north-west of Raipur; on the north, the land rises and
merges with the Chota Nagpur Plateau, which extends
north-east across Jharkhand state. On the south of Raipur
lies the Deccan Plateau. Raipur is situated on Proterozoic
chandi formation of Raipur group comprising of limestone,
shale and sand stone. Rock formation of chandi formation
is exposed horizontally bedded with thick beds of lime
stone.
Soil
The zone comprises of alluvial soil in the Indogangetic plane
and some portions contain lateritic soils and also hilly
portion. The alluvial soil is very good for production of clay
bricks while in other parts laterite blocks are used. In the
hilly region, stone walling is made. The area is rich in
minerals.
7. Drainage Pattern
There are three main rivers flowing towards north and north-east
within the region. These are Sheonath on the west of Durg, Kharun
on the west of Raipur and Mahanadi at the extreme east of the
region. Besides these, Kulhan nala drains the area on south-east of
Raipur and joins Kharun river.

Forest and Vegetation
The region has three reserved forests namely Bilari, Bilari Ghugat and
Khaudabari, but these forests are now degraded. There are some
protected forests in the region. A few patches of dense forest are
also observed close to Tilda. Further, social forestry plantations are
present throughout the Region wherein Eucalyptus and other local
species like Neem, Mahua and Sisham are observed. Other tree
species found in the Region consist of Peepal, Banyan and Mango
trees, particularly along tank bunds. Acacia species are seen
principally in the agricultural fields and in the upland stretches.
Hydrogeology
The rock formation comprising the lime stone, sand stone and shale
form the main repository of ground water in the area. Depth of dug
wells in the area varies from 7 to 21m, with diameter ranging from 2
to 6m. Depth of bore wells in the area varies from 30 to 120m, with
diameter from 0.10 to 0.15
