Urban Development Department is mapping city’s underground infrastructure
- “A collated pan-city GIS-based map showing all utilities below the ground is an important infrastructure the city needs today,”
- The Urban Development Department (UDD) recently held a meeting with all parastatals to initiate mapping of all their utilities.
- The project will be housed in the Karnataka Geographic Information System (K-GIS).
- K-GIS can be the nodal agency, but the map has to work on a federated architecture: each service utility agency will be responsible for the spatial data it puts up on the base map. There is a protocol to update spatial data on the map and share it with agencies.
