More efficient planning and greater benefit to society
Today, a consultant who is working on a project for a new road in a given municipality needs to contact all kinds of authorities to access all the necessary information. For example, the consultant may need to view population statistics, travel habits, the location of the largest workplaces, shopping centres, water supply networks and so on.
With a dedicated geodata infrastructure - that provides a single point of access to the information - it will be much easier to find and access the relevant information, the costs to society will fall and the benefit to society will increase.
