Description
.In a world grappling with urban expansion, climate change, and economic inequality, geospatial technologies play a crucial role in shaping more sustainable and inclusive futures. Geographic information systems (GIS) enable the integration of spatial and socio-economic data to inform smarter decision making across sectors. By revealing hidden spatial patterns and relationships, GIS supports equitable resource allocation and more resilient infrastructure planning. Its ability to drive data-informed policy not only enhances governance but also helps communities adapt to shifting environmental and economic conditions. As such, geospatial intelligence has become essential to advancing sustainable development and achieving long-term regional resilience. Harnessing Geospatial Information Systems for Sustainable Economic and Regional Development explores how GIS have emerged as powerful tools to inform policy, enhance infrastructure planning, manage natural resources, and drive inclusive growth. It emphasizes the ability of GIS to uncover spatial patterns and trends that would otherwise remain invisible, thus supporting smarter governance and targeted interventions. Covering topics such as agricultural productivity, land administration, and urban health surveillance, this book is an excellent resource for academicians, researchers, students, practitioners, industry professionals, policymakers, and more.
