Land information systems for smart cities

The major challenge for the governments today is how to provide people with a decent quality of life, while at the same time managing the pressures coming from overpopulation, rapid demographic growth, urbanization and climate change. Nowadays, half of the world’s inhabitants live in cities and urban areas which are depleting our planet’s resources and people’s living conditions are worsening. Hence, “smart cities” are necessary to allow citizens to live in a more sustainable and efficient environment. In order to achieve this, cooperation is needed among all the stakeholders who should work together to the right solutions and implement them.
