On 9 October 2025, a delegation from the Research Institute for Land and Space (RILS), led by Prof. DING Xiaoli, Director of RILS, and Prof. Ben CHAN, Adjunct Professor of RILS, visited the Geospatial Lab. The Geospatial Lab plays a vital role in promoting the use of spatial data for smart applications, aligning with the Common Spatial Data Infrastructure (CSDI) initiative to support Hong Kong’s smart city development.
During the visit, RILS participants were introduced to the lab’s facilities, geographic information system (GIS) software applications and opportunities for spatial data knowledge sharing. The delegation engaged in in-depth discussions on leveraging spatial data for land and space research, exploring innovative approaches for smart city projects and enhancing collaboration between academia and the public sector. We extend our sincere gratitude to Sr CHAN Yue-chun, Head of Spatial Data Office of the Development Bureau (DEVB), HKSAR, and his team for their support in facilitating this visit. This exchange of ideas and expertise has laid a foundation for future collaboration and innovation in land and space research.
