The lecture commenced with a welcome speech and speaker introduction by Prof. WANG Zuankai, Associate Vice President (Research and Innovation). In his presentation, Prof. Chen first gave a brief introduction to the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as well as the SDG monitoring practices in Mainland China. He pointed out that the Nation has adopted the high quality sustainable development concept, which emphasises harmonising the social, economic and environmental aspects in national development. Next, he elaborated on a pilot project that he led to measure Deqing County’s progress towards SDGs using geospatial and statistical information. The project was selected by the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs as one of the first 16 good SDGs’ practices in 2020. After that, Prof. Chen shared that the achievement of sustainable development requires holistic and systematic research to build a digital governance system that can provide the basis for the scientific and orderly development of national territorial space. He also explained how territorial space sustainability studies can help unveil and analyse various patterns, such as the distributions of population, enterprises and public service facilities, and the relationships between them. To conclude, Prof. Chen introduced the national program on the development of the Realistic Geospatial Landscape Model (3dRGLm), which can generate digital description and representation of the real 3D geospatial spaces. This new geographic information system can support the Nation in achieving natural resources management and high quality sustainable development.
A question-and-answer session moderated by Prof. DING Xiaoli, Director of the Research Institute for Land and Space (RILS) and Prof. WENG Qihao, Associate Director of RILS, followed. The online and on-site audience engaged in a productive discussion with Prof. Chen.

"Essentials of Geographic Information Systems integrates key concepts behind the technology with practical concerns and real-world applications. Recognizing that many potential GIS users are nonspecialists or may only need a few maps, this book is designed to be accessible, pragmatic, and concise. Essentials of Geographic Information Systems also illustrates how GIS is used to ask questions, inform choices, and guide policy. From the melting of the polar ice caps to privacy issues associated with mapping, this book provides a gentle, yet substantive, introduction to the use and application of digital maps, mapping, and GIS."--BCcampus website.

GeoInfo Map is a geospatial information service provided by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Government to the general public, dedicated to facilitate the searching and understanding of geographical locations, the built and natural environments, and public facilities in Hong Kong. In GeoInfo Map, base map details and building information as well as the photo maps are provided by the Lands Department. Departmental and public facilities information is contributed by relevant Government departments while infrastructure and hosting of this website is provided by the Office of Government Chief Information Officer. Geospatial information underpins our daily activities. To cater public’s needs for convenient access to official digital map and geospatial information, LandsD developed this GeoInfo Map service for use by members of the general public. GeoInfo Map served as a common platform to foster sharing of geospatial information by enabling easy public access to the latest facility information released by government departments. Since the launch of the GeoInfo Map in May 2010, the LandsD has been working closely with 29 government departments for the delivery of up-to-date maps and geospatial information service for the public. Over the years, the content of the GeoInfo Map has enriched significantly from provision of 120 types of public facility geospatial information to 270. In order to enhance service quality, the Lands Department has recently conducted a large scale revamping exercise to improve the GeoInfo Map service. To facilitate web surfing with tablet computers and smartphones, responsive web design has been introduced in the revamped website which will detect and adapt to the device in use to deliver a smoother user experience. Apart from enhancing map browsing experience and performance, the new map interface enables users to search for various types of real-time information including weather, traffic, air and beach water quality. GeoInfo Map provides a powerful geographic search engine. It allows users to find any locations in Hong Kong by inputting address information, building names, community and public facility names, place names, road names, lot information, lamp post numbers, and GPS coordinates, etc. Users can also search for public facilities by different categories such as "Sports and Recreation", "Health", etc. GeoInfo Map also provides useful map tools such as drawing tools, share map tools, and drawing tools, etc. Using GeoInfo Map, users can use the navigation tool bar provided to view maps with different scales and level of details, and pan and zoom to any locations in Hong Kong. Apart from the topographic maps, users can have aerial views over the locations of Hong Kong with the Ortho Map function. LandsD is delighted to offer GeoInfo Map to the public. With integrated and comprehensive geospatial information, we hope the GeoInfo Map provides convenience and support to the general public. We would continuously improve the GeoInfo Map service quality. More geospatial information will be incorporated into GeoInfo Map in the future.

John Nelson works in the Content team at Esri, pushing and pulling data in all sorts of absurd ways -and then talking about it. He has far too much fun looking for ways to understand and present data visually, hopefully driving product strategy and engaging users. It's a great website to learn how to create an awesome map within the ArcGIS pro.
