The A-CUPCB-SPAV envisages to create a ‘spatial data infrastructure’ that shall be a ‘digital portal of documentation’ containing spatial information, reports, and maps relevant to planners and urban development officials for specific regions from South India. Such repository of data held and managed by the A-CUPCB-SPAV can be made easily accessible and retrievable to multiple stakeholders in the domain of urban planning and design. Spatial data shall be gathered from all key ULBs and certain districts in the Southern region of India, with specific quality control and then developed in-house to meet spatial data standards and then converted into data products in the form of layers of relevant information for urban planning purposes. The portal shall also host information from various other Departments of the State Governments in the region within specific themes and can serve as a common platform for planners, students, researchers and practitioners to refer and interact with. Some of the data products which are derived out of advanced analysis may be kept on sale, while most of it may be made open sourced. This mandated activity shall be a continuously ongoing round the calendar aimed at making high quality spatial data easily accessible. The data shall be utilised in the training programmes offered as well in the research projects undertaken by the A-CUPCB-SPAV.
