Comment: v2

The English verb depends heavily on the object:

land: reclaim, develop
market: develop, open up
route: open, establish
field: open up, break new ground in
institution: establish

That's why I'm reluctant to add "develop" as a separate gloss. It's an excellent translation in some contexts, but so are launch, create, reclaim, build, open, carve out, etc. The dictionary would become unmanageably long if we listed every context-specific translation.
Diff:
- 開闢 开辟 [kai1 pi4] /to open up/to set up/to establish/
+ 開闢 开辟 [[kai1pi4]] /to open up; to create; to establish/
