Blue Print for Smart Cities
Qualcomm Inc. has published information on what makes a city smart! Our team has consolidated and republished it as an infographic – blue print for smart cities.
A key point raised is that to make a city smart, doesn’t necessarily mean a complete overhauling of the cities. Improving resource management through connectivity and existing infrastructure is a possibility which can be achieved cloud based, interoperable and scalable infrastructure. This holds true for smart cities in Asia Pacific too.

What is the relevance of Geospatial for Smart Cities in Asia Pacific?
โGeospatial technologies have a key role to play when it comes to
enabling smart cities in Asia Pacific. When it comes to application of geospatial for smart cities, what it really means is that the geospatial technologies are applied across the smart city subsystems such as energy, water, transportation, public safety, citizen services, city governance, healthcare, education, etc. The ultimate aim is to not only improve the efficiency in managing the city infrastructure, but also enable collaboration during the planning, construction, monitoring and management of the city infrastructure.โ

How is Singapore Getting Ready?
While, Singapore is already highlighted as one of the smart cities in Asia Pacific, it is getting future ready with 3D GIS project Virtual Singapore. Singapore Land Authority (SLA) is leading a whole-of-government (WOG) initiative to create and maintain a high resolution survey-accurate 3-dimensional (3D) national map to support the increasing needs of government and agencies in operation, planning and risk management.
