Invented By

This dimension names the person credited with introducing a given kind of transport infrastructure. Canals are one clear example: Wikipedia describes them as "waterways or engineered channels built for drainage management (e.g. flood control and irrigation) or for conveyancing water transport vehicles (e.g. water taxi)," a deliberately engineered solution rather than a natural feature. Grouping infrastructure by inventor gathers everything attributed to one designer in a single view.
