Leveraging ArcGIS Platform & CityEngine for GIS based Master PlansEsri India
Sustainable, scalable and future ready urban development is one the key priorities in India as well globally. Major government programs i.e. Smart Cities and Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) aim to build foundations to achieve this.
For any planned development, master plan is a starting point. A master plan provides a long term blueprint that guides the sustainable planned development of the city. Use of GIS for master planning is not new. GIS-based Master Plans will help in different types of urban planning exercises, e.g. preparation of development plan, zonal plan, utility plan, infrastructure plan, etc. Even Smart City program and AMRUT programs mandate use of GIS for master plan creation.
ArcGIS is a complete platform for end-to-end city planning, design and management. The webinar illustrates how ArcGIS Platform and 3D capabilities of CityEngine provides a complete set of tools for end-to-end GIS based master plan creation and updation.

CITE Start Thinking Big Data 2019 01-30 FINALJon Kostyniuk
Whatever the size or type of organization, Big Data has permeated our transportation industry. It is no longer a question of IF Big Data will be useful, but instead WHY is it useful and HOW can we best apply it. This presentation aims to address how we can leverage existing services and available partnerships in transportation, consider new and emerging technologies, and determine strategy for what’s to come in transportation, including connected and autonomous vehicles. While it may be a huge challenge to solve transportation problems with Big Data, it can help us make better travel decisions today and plan for better infrastructure tomorrow.
The Business Case for Smart Cities
• What is a Smart City?
• Where are the Smart Cities?
• Does Smart = Sustainable?
• How can the investment be justified?
• How can success be measured?
Talk given at FBK, Trento with my views on how we could progress towards Smarter Cities, those cities that do not only pursue resource efficiency but mainly focus on addressing the citizen actual needs in their daily interactions with the city. This presentation addresses: a) how an enabling platform for Smarter Cities must support developers by providing well-known interfaces and data management languages (REST, JSON and SQL) and b) also end-users by enabling them to contribute with data, still continuously analyzing the quality of their provided data.

Streamlining the design and operation of infrastructure in WalesEsri UK
Streamlining the design and operation of infrastructure in Wales is both an imperative issue and a challenging undertaking, particularly when responding to the climate crisis and budgetary constraints in the Welsh context. The cost of digitisation and varying levels of digital knowledge amongst professionals often impede efforts to streamline processes. ‘Going digital’ with purchases of data, systems and training can be a hurdle for many infrastructure projects, particularly for smaller ones where digitalisation capex can be prohibitively high. See a Welsh example from AtkinsRéalis that provides a workable and highly successful demonstrator of how projects can benefit from a shared GIS model, providing rapid collaboration against a design deadline of climate change.

How climate data can help address the climate challengeEsri UK
Climate change has already altered the weather we experience and the magnitude of impacts from extreme temperatures and rainfall. These impacts manifest locally and can cause human causalities and damage to infrastructure and natural systems.

When most people in the industry talk about online or digital reputation management, what they're really saying is Google search and PPC. And it's usually reactive, left dealing with the aftermath of negative information published somewhere online. That's outdated. It leaves executives, organizations and other high-profile individuals at a high risk of a digital reputation attack that spans channels and tactics. But the tools needed to safeguard against an attack are more cybersecurity-oriented than most marketing and communications professionals can manage. Business leaders Leaders grasp the importance; 83% of executives place reputation in their top five areas of risk, yet only 23% are confident in their ability to address it. To succeed in 2024 and beyond, you need to turn online reputation on its axis and think like an attacker.
