Featured in the Secretary for Development’s blog, “Walkin’HK” is a collaboration between the Lands Department’s Survey and Mapping Office and PolyU, with PolyU’s contribution led by the Research Institute for Land and Space (RILS) and Jockey Club Design Institute for Social Innovation (J.C.DISI) as a collaborating partner to integrate geospatial technology, academic research and social innovation for the benefit of the community..
The “Walkin’HK” application harnesses LandsD’s 3D Digital Maps and over 240 sets of 2D and 3D spatial datasets from the Common Spatial Data Infrastructure (CSDI) Portal. The application analyses walkable zones, provides high precision and realistic 3D city model experiences, and offers diverse walking options through 3D pedestrian network designed with universal accessibility elements. It also utilises spatial analytic tools to identify surrounding community facilities. The application enables people of different ages and needs to explore their neighbourhoods more conveniently, while supporting the HKSAR Government’s “15 Minute Neighbourhood” policy and promoting walking as green mode of travel.
