The cost and
benefits of geospatial
information
In both the Budget released in early 2019 and the
central government’s Outline Development Plan for the
Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (“GBA
180 Plan”) issued in February 2019, a geospatial data platform
was mentioned.
HK$300 million has been earmarked for setting up a
one-stop data supermarket or the common spatial data
infrastructure (CSDI) according to the 2019 Budget; while a
“spatial service information platform” for the development
of a smart city has been detailed in chapter 5 of the GBA
Plan.
Both platforms are actually the same with all data centring
on geographic or locational information.
