2. Application of 3D Pedestrian Network (Workshop)

As a densely populated city, Hong Kong requires a comprehensive 3D Pedestrian Network (3DPN) to support its spatial planning and analysis. Since 2022, the Lands Department has made the dataset available to the public through the Common Spatial Data Infrastructure Portal (CSDI Portal). In this workshop, we will demonstrate how this dataset can be used to perform some simple spatial and network analyses.
