Exploit Geospatial Technology, Big Data and Analytics for Urban Planning Peter Quek, CIO Urban Redevelopment Authority Singapore June 2014
Geographic Information System For Planning Concept Plan Master Plan Integrated Planning Landuse System more than 15 years >200 Datasets 200-300 planners Devt Coordination & Land Sales Development Control Clipartof.com
Singapore - Island City State Limited land space: about 710 km sq Need land for City and Country functions 23 KM 43 KM Google map 710 sq KM A City and A Country
More Complex Planning Environment Globally and locally (economy, social, environment) e.g. Climate change, ageing population Haze in Singapore 2013 Euro crisis 2013 - Marketplace BBC Ageing population
New Opportunities New Opportunities Technology innovation e.g. mobile, social, Internet of things More granular data e.g. real time data More powerful tools e.g. big data and 3D analysis More real time data available Big data analytics
Embrace Technology Next generation, smart and powerful geospatial tools for planning
Exploit Geospatial Data (1) Planning & Development Data - road, landuse, infrastructure (2) Social / Demographics Data - population, social services (3) People and vehicular flow Data - Real time traffic, parking, (4) Customer Feedback / Crowd Sourcing / Ground Sensing Data
Open Data (data.gov.sg ) Urban Redevelopment Authority, Singapore
Share Data/App with Public Public access of data and apps via website, mobile apps and data sharing portal URA Map in URA Online Smart phone app Master Plan, property market Government data sharing portal
Online Development Register App to allow public and professionals to check past development and planning decisions geospatially on the fly
eplanner - Geospatial Analytics One-stop geospatial planning analytics portal for planners - multi-platform and device - Make GIS /data analytics easy for everyone
Advanced Planning Analytics GIS-Enabled Mapping, Modelling & Analysis (GEMMA) Analysis of planning scenarios o Develop plans for different timeframe o Testing different land use strategies o Monitoring and development progress vs plans Distribution of work location of PT Commuters (by MTZ)
3D Urban Model System 3D urban model of Singapore : 150,000 massing models, more than 60 sq km city models 3D analysis - shadow analysis, line of sight, etc.
Rule Base 3D City Information Modeling Create rich attributes and semantic for city information model Facilitate planning, design, evaluation using rule-based modelling (ESRI) Incorporate KPIs No. of Resident vehicles: No. of Hotel Rooms: Commercial floor area: sqm No. of shoppers: Office floor area: sqm No. of office workers: No. of Parking Lots: Electrical Consumption: kwh/year Waste Domestic: kg/year Water Consumption: L/year
Advance Modeling Micro-climatic and multi-physics study thermal, wind flow, heat island, noise Microclimate study Marina Bay Urban heat map of Singapore : Google
Conclusions
Technology is only Enabler What is the business Outcomes Smarter and Integrated Planning Stretch and optimise infrastructure Engaging the stackholders
Conclusions Geospatial technology, data and analytics are strategic tools for urban planning Technology is only enabler, need to be driven by business outcomes
