To promote CSDI and to raise the public’s interest in spatial data, Geospatial Lab, established by the Development Bureau, is organising the CSDI Awards 2024 – “Present Spatial Data, Map our Future” (the “Awards”).

The Final Presentation was successfully concluded on 13 and 14 July at the City Gallery in Central. The finalists leveraged spatial data obtained from the CSDI portal to create interactive web maps and map-centric application prototypes and shared how spatial data can be utilised to address current and future challenges of our city.
