2. About the city
Viña del Mar is a coastal resort city northwest of
Santiago, Chile. It’s known for its gardens, beaches and
high-rise buildings. Quinta Vergara Park is home to the
Quinta Vergara Amphitheater, the early-20th-century
Vergara Palace and the Artequin Museum, which
displays copies of major artworks. The Museum of
Archaeology and History Francisco Fonck features stone
moai sculptures from Easter Island and shrunken heads.
Viña began in the 1870s as a resort suburb of Valparaíso,
connected to that city and to the capital by train. After a
1906 earthquake damaged Valparaíso, Viña expanded
with new architecture transforming its seaside cliffs. One
such structure is Castillo Wulff, a Germanic turreted
granite castle set on a rocky point. Viña del Mar is a
beach resort town close to Santiago in Central Chile. It's
the most important beach in the country. It plays host to a
famous music festival every year in late February.Viña
del Mar was originally farmland connected to the city of
Valparaiso called Marga Marga wetlands; these wetlands
suffered constant weather storms that eroded the area.
New architecture rebuilt the Marga Marga wetlands into
suburbs by 1906 after an earthquake damaged
Valparaiso and the people who lost their homes.

3. Multiple Nuclei Model
This model does not fit into the other two models because the
burgess concentric model had to be layered throughout the city in
a circle shape, and Viña del Mar is near water so it can’t be
layered. It also can’t really be a sector model because the areas
in the city are scattered really randomly, the upper, middle, and
lower class are scattered in the different parts that does not fit
into the model.

Todays my first day looking for a place in vina del mar to live.
The building are tall and made of glass ive never seen anything like it
before ive always lived in the country and never had the chance to
visit big cities often, but its so fascinating to see everything so big and
beautiful. I noticed a beach and decided to walk down to it there was
a lot of people there and they all were so nice they told me that vina
del mar was full of gardens and museums that were known for so i
decided to vist the vinia del mar botanical garden it was beautiful all
of the pretty flowers and even some strange plants that i couldnt even
read and i went to a museum that was highly recommend oline its
called Museo de Arqueología e Historia Francisco Fonck, its a big
white building surrounded by plants and historical statues and its
filled with all the history of vina del mar. anyways thats all i wanted to
write about while im looking for a place to live, Wish me luck!
8. watch all the people sing and have a good time with their families. I
also learned that Reneca Beach is a tourist attraction and that's the
main place where people go on vacation here. In this area, there are
tall glass buildings like I tackled in the last entry that I wrote but other
than just glass buildings there are a lot of businesses here and
there's a huge bridge that crosses a river that is modern and sleek
looking. There are not many homes to live but there are a lot of
apartments and that means I get a nice view. I'll talk to you later.

OK so I did some research and it turns out Chile was not
always evenly spread out. People mostly started in the south of Chile
they were focused on urbanization and technology and how one can
travel, they also wanted more housing because of the transportation
to the city through train travel but because of an earthquake, they
started to move out north and west to get away from the earthquakes.
I also found out the reason why they moved to Chile was because
they wanted to be socially accepted by their race. Anyway, I just
wanted to tell you what I learned while researching about chilie! I'll
see you later don't forget about me!

Okay I was binge-researching again (don't judge me!) and I
found some new interesting things about Chile. So, According to
projections, the revenue in this market segment is expected to reach
an impressive US$0.59bn by 2024. Furthermore, experts anticipate a
steady annual growth rate of 10.20% between 2024 and 2028,
resulting in a market volume of US$0.87bn by the end of the latter
year. When comparing the global landscape, it becomes evident that
the United States will play a pivotal role in generating revenue within
the Smart Cities market. In 2024 alone, in the United States is
projected to generate a staggering US$12.74bn, setting a benchmark
for other countries to strive towards. Chile is making significant
strides in implementing smart city technologies to enhance urban
sustainability and improve the quality of life for its citizens.

So lately I've been looking for jobs lately I went to a medical
university and got my medical degree so I can be a doctor in a
hospital but I noticed there are a lot of sports places around in Vina
del Mar and there's a lot of hospitals that I can choose im torn over
which I can do because I was also in sports for a long time but I just
don't know! Wait I have an idea what if I go to a place where I can
teach sports medicine that way I can do two things that I love while
staying in my area because I've noticed there are many universities
near me where I can teach sports med. This is so exciting I can't
believe this is happening in real life! I hope that I'll fit in well Wish me
luck in getting a job.
