A better understanding and smart management of many sets of data is fundamental for modern urban planning and construction. In order to create energy-efficient buildings and sustainable cities, planners, architects, developers, and facility managers need to understand how buildings work in a very detailed way.

Realising the full potential of project data is one of the biggest challenges for modern planning and development. Geospatial data can be scattered across many different systems, platforms, mapping services, and even in paper form. The continually growing complexity of this information not only makes planning difficult, but may also lead to very costly mistakes. Fortunately, there is a solution, and that is of course a Geographic Information System.
