SLA, in partnership with the Government Technology Agency of Singapore (GovTech), is leading efforts to develop the Singapore Geospatial Master Plan, which will harness GIST to strengthen our nation’s geospatial capabilities. The Master Plan will incorporate the national vision, strategic thrusts and key initiatives that are necessary to drive geospatial development forward.
SLA’s 3D map forms the building and digital terrain models for Virtual Singapore, a dynamic three-dimensional city model and collaborative data platform jointly developed by SLA, the National Research Foundation (NRF) and GovTech as part of Singapore’s Smart Nation initiative. The first pilot, Virtual Yuhua, was presented at the 2016 World Cities Summit. When complete, SLA will play a vital role as the managing owner of this platform that will enable users from different sectors to develop sophisticated tools and applications for test-bedding concepts and services, planning and decision-making, and research on technologies to solve emerging and complex challenges for Singapore.
