Utility Mapping and its Challenges in Malaysia using Airborne LiDAR Technology
Currently home to 17 megacities, Asia Pacific region is expected to be home to 22 megacities by 2030. On top of this, urban population in the region is expected to reach 3.2 billion by 2050, more than half of its entire population. The rapid increase in urban population will place heavy strain on the government, especially in terms of investment, to ensure smooth delivery of services, as well as to ensure the critical city infrastructures such as transportation, water supply, electricity and telecommunications, meet the citizens' and environmental needs.
Adopting smart, sustainable development practices is the only way for city authorities and federal governments today to be well-placed to meet these challenges in the future. The need for innovative policies and smart technologies are greater than ever, and it goes beyond GIS, GPS and traditional mapping. Smart technologies such as building information modelling, connected sensors, crisis response system, and intelligent transportation system – all rooted in location information, will be at the core of city planning and management.
Smart Cities programme at Geosmart Asia 2016 will bring forth the value of integrating geospatial technology throughout the entire city lifecycle management, with special emphasis on urban planning and mobility.
