• If the year is not specially mentioned (for example if you are asked to divide the total figure to subcategories) please give the latest figure (current status) if the construction of the area is finished or the figure of the target state (year when approx. 100% of the construction will be completed) if the area is still under construction.
  
• Give figures in asked units as precise as possible. If the total number is asked to be divided to subcategories (total figure by type of something) you can give either percentage or total figure.
• You can use either metric or American/British unit system. If you use the American/British unit system please change the right units to the excel.
  
• You can use your own grouping if it differs from the given (for example lines of businesses, age grouping, etc.). Explain the diverging grouping in comments column.
• Don’t forget to save the changes you’ve made!

• Copy a map from the article or use your own map.
• Mark the asked focus points to the map with any suitable graphics program (e.g. Photoshop).
