Government appoints Common Spatial Data Advisory Committee members
******************************************************************
The CSDAC advises the Government on the enhancement and promotion of the development of the Common Spatial Data Infrastructure (CSDI) in Hong Kong. The CSDI portal is one of the key digital infrastructures underpinning smart city development in Hong Kong. It aims to enhance the use, management, discovery and sharing of spatial data for robust policy-making, driving innovation and value creation for society. Members of the CSDAC comprise representatives from five bureaux/departments and non-official members from various sectors including geospatial and IT-related groups, academia, public utilities, transport operators, the business sector, the construction industry, and social/community services.
As the Chairman of the CSDAC, the Director of Lands, Mr Maurice Loo, welcomed the newly appointed and reappointed members. He also expressed gratitude to the 14 outgoing members for their dedicated support to the Committee's work over the past years. Their contributions in developing the 3D Digital Map and advancing the CSDI have been instrumental in driving innovation and enhancing spatial data applications for the city.
