GIS and Smart Cities
Recently, Indian Government has announced its plan to set up 100 smart cities across the country. This opens up a huge opportunity in each aspect of Smart city planning, project execution and management. Smart city is about integration, coordination and synergistic functioning of different participants of the smart city ecosystem. These include several aspects such as smart planning, transparency in governance, smart energy, smart infrastructure, smart buildings, and smart service delivery mechanisms. Hence, what is imperative is a need for a common technology platform which integrates all aspects of city planning and management providing a common operating picture to all.
Location is a common denominator in every aspect of smart city and hence a location platform i.e. a GIS based platform technology has to form this backbone since the very beginning including for ICT planning and deployment. A centralized information system based on GIS provides an IT framework which integrates every aspect of a smart city – starting from conceptualization, planning, and development to maintenance.
The seminar at Esri India User Conference, co-hosted by Esri India and Institute of Town Planners, India (ITPI) will provide you an opportunity to learn from technical experts and peers.
