Spatial data plays a crucial role in our daily lives. Accessible, high-quality, and up-to-date spatial data and services are fundamental to the development of smart cities. To spark public interest in addressing urban challenges with innovative solutions using spatial data from the Common Spatial Data Infrastructure Portal (CSDI Portal), the Geospatial Lab (GeoLab) organized the CSDI Awards 2024 – themed 'Present Spatial Data, Map our Future'.

Dr. Winnie Tang, MH, JP, Founder and Honorary President of the Smart City Consortium, delivered remarks to the winners at the Awards Ceremony of the CSDI Awards 2024.

The CSDI Awards 2024 received significant participation in four categories, ranging from primary and secondary schools to the public and tertiary students. Participants showcased their geospatial projects using ArcGIS StoryMaps, focusing on diverse social and economic issues such as urban planning, healthcare, and environmental protection. The Awards Ceremony was successfully concluded on July 20, 2024. Dr. Winnie Tang, MH, JP, Founder and Honorary President of the Smart City Consortium delivered remarks to the winners. She emphasized the importance of cross-disciplinary learning and GIS education for the younger generation, envisioning a smart and vibrant future for Hong Kong.
