Accurate spatial data is facilitating community development and planning for a smart city
Porirua is located on New Zealand’s North Island and is one of the four cities that constitute the metropolitan area of Wellington, the nation’s capital. Porirua City Council (PCC) is the local government agency servicing Porirua and its 55,000 residents.
PCC, in consultation with all its relevant stakeholders, determined a number of strategic priorities for Porirua from which several long-term goals were established. To assist with reaching these goals, PCC’s long-term plan for 2015-25 incorporates a significant investment in new infrastructure and city centre development.
AAM New Zealand (AAM NZ), having worked with PCC for many years in helping improve their Geographic Information System (GIS) and 3D capabilities, were commissioned to provide an accurate, accessible and interactive 3D city map of Porirua. An accurate, up-to-date 3D city map is an integral component for smart city planning, essential to carrying out PCC’s long-term development plans.
