Working Group 3.1
Geospatial Information Infrastructure for Smart Cities
Policy Issues
Geospatial Information Infrastructure is an enabling infrastructure
that can support and integrate the increasing number of geospatial
related sensors in cities and communities. Geospatial information
infrastructure facilitates timely information services for citizens,
governments and business across cities, regions and countries. It
contributes to the delivery of improved outcomes in key areas such as
urban planning, transportation, health, education, environmental
management and supports economic development. The key aim of the working
group is to contribute to improved decision making and outcomes in
society through sharing knowledge and advances in geospatial information
infrastructure and technology and their integration and enablement for
smart cities at the local, regional and global levels.
