The Chartered Institution of Civil Engineering Surveyors (Hong Kong Region) have a seminar in March 18, the topic is the "Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) in HK". I'm looking forward to learning those topics from Government, Private sector and Academe.

Organizers:
The Chartered Institution of Civil Engineering Surveyors (HK Region)
The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors (L.S. Division)

Did you try to think CAD, GIS & BIM model can be worked together for doing visualization and simulation? Nowadays Autodesk LandXplorer Studio provides a platform, which can be easy to create a city model with your existing data model. Once the model is built, you can easy to navigate the city model and go to do the spatial-analysis e.g.

Taiwan's CT has published a number of thread, which is mainly mentioned how is the transition from the traditional mapping to nowadays engineering GIS. This is the good resource & moment to let me to review these topics.

Today LiDAR technologies are becoming more common, as it is cost-effective, rapid operation, large area coverage… etc. This technology replaces the traditional surveying, particularly stereo imagery and stereo plotter. It’s able to work, if the area is not easy to touch or the building shape is complex. Base on my understanding, this technology has been applied in Hong Kong for a long while.
