Professional Geospatial Talk

"Smart City and 3D Mapping in HK"

Event Code: E241116

Details

Objective

Hong Kong aims to achieve smart city development to enhance residents' quality of life. By integrating IoT, AI, and big data, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and 3D mapping provide detailed city landscape, supporting smart transportation mobility, energy management, and disaster response. This talk will introduce the smart city development through spatial data including optimizing resource allocation, reducing traffic congestion, and improving public safety. The hands-on practical session will introduce various sources of spatial data, including environmental, transportation, land use, and recreation. Students will learn how to make use of spatial data by GIS software for mapping, spatial analysis, and decision-making. This talk provides practical skills and knowledge to enhance students’ understanding of open-source spatial data and optimize you the outdoor recreation experiences.
