The adoption of advanced geospatial technology by local governments can significantly enhance urban development and service delivery efficiency.
The Erode City Municipal Corporation has initiated steps to prepare detailed 2D and 3D maps of the entire corporation area using drones and modern surveying technology.
The project is aimed at improving urban planning, civic administration and infrastructure development by creating a comprehensive Geographic Information System (GIS) database of the city.
Under the project, aerial surveys will be carried out using drones equipped with cameras and Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) technology.
