History. PhDprocess. Vienna Paris Rotterdam

Sorry, summerguests. Today I have a Massive headache, a full nose, a throat you don't want to feel and aching limbs. But,

I was thinking, I saw this very informative documentary last night, on TV, made or created by zwarte zwanen ( Black swans). During looking at the documentary, I heard someone tell that the financial industry has its origine in the beginning of the 20th century. Perhaps in Vienna? Europe?

When did the war industry begin? 19 th century, Napoleon Bonaparte, Europe?

When did the city industry begin? 21 st century, the Netherlands, Europe?

And when did Linnaeus write down all the plant species? Beginning 18 th century?
Carl Linaeus was born in 1707, Sweden. The rest you can Google. I wonder what he did, the first three years of his life ?

(A diversity pattern?) An industry pattern, keywords: innovation, creativity, control, care, persons, p.r.,  the group, concepts, energy, social thinking, movement, dynamics, risk taking, 'rendements' thinking.

The beginnings:

1600. Bloeiperiode van Wenen, 'flowering' period Vienna ( is bloei, a typical Dutch word ?)
1707 (18th century.)  Linaeus and taxonomy, plant thinking, Sweden
1805 napoleon Bonaparte, (19th century.) War industry, Europe
1900 (20th century.) Financial industry, Vienna
2000 (21th century.) Computer and City industry, NL/london/Paris/ N.Y.

2010 introduction concept: people, planet, profit ( language: English). What will this mean fir the future?

22th century.  People industry, Earth ( material) industry and or planet ( shape and space) industry?

( okay, this is not allowed while doing serious history, a bit provoking as an historian, for the sake of the discussion.  Otherwise it is becoming so boring for me.

Note.
There is something 'radical' in the Netherlands
For instance, in the summer of 2003  20.000 elderly died in Paris because of the heat. Till now there is only the ( worl famous) botanist, trying to inspire everybody with the beautiful 'green' wals he creates. He has created about ten walls many, in Paris. And Paris is a tourist metropole, one could say. Another example in Paris, this spring there was an enormous smog in the city. The only measurement taken was the restriction of the amount of cars, driving in Paris. And only because it was the Fashion week of Paris ( women complaining, off course)

Two examples of 'radical' approach. The first is on the level of a building in the city of Amsterdam. An extensions if a swimmimgpool was requested. People in the neighbourhood didn't want an ugly building again. The architect designed a building completely coverd with fifty ( really) plant sorts, inspired by this French botanist, which was consulted first. Realised by a Dutch company, with more than hundred years of experience with plants. And as third a maintenance contract for 10 years was signed by the citycouncil of Amsterdam and this plant company.
The second example is the city of Rotterdam. In november 2014 elected as Cultural city of Europe 2015. Which means, a lot of tourist or 'guest' will come to Rotterdam. Especially in the summer. And 'all of a sudden' the whole city of Rotterdam is becoming green, with plants.
