However, the density of the city somehow makes this seem easier to imagine than in, say, Atlanta, where if you're walking around with an umbrella you're usually walking to or from a car.

Stupid, stupid Atlanta. I'm so tired of driving everywhere.

I want one of these awesome umbrellas, and a place to use it. Atlanta, as you say, is NOT such a place.

Anyway, the company calls it a "Light Saber" umbrella, but Tom's correct, I think it's better if i think of it in terms of the Blade Runner umbrella, to the right. More information, and pix of a restored original, here.

I like how the fact that the headline is in Korean, we have made up whatever we want for this thread!
These don't seem too practical to me. I think the light would actually just glare in your eyes. The last thing you want when walking down a dark wet street is glare. It would be better if the light were directional and pointing away from your face.
Besides, studies have shown that younger cities such as Atlanta, aren't well built to accommodate mass transit. They were designed for the car, which is why they promote the car. Even Washington DC is not very mass transit friendly thanks to the loop.
