India



                     India’s national geospatial information agency was set up
                     to promote the National Geospatial Policy which unifies
                     and manages data from over a dozen departments.



                                  What about Hong Kong?


                     Hong Kong has a lot of renowned infrastructure developed
                     and managed by advanced technology entities and

    190              dedicated government departments. For example, the
                     Observatory collects weather data, the Environmental
                     Protection Department carries out air pollution analysis,

                     the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department is
                     responsible for electrical installation and the Highways
                     Department maintains the road. If there was a dedicated
                     department for  the  territory’s  geospatial data and
                     positioning  information,  who  would  be  responsible  for

                     formulating policies and regulations for the implementation
                     of relevant bureaux and departments, as well as sharing
                     relevant data with the public, it would enhance the efficient

                     application of spatial technology in Hong Kong, and also
