Geoinformatics Technology Use in Town Planning

Sandeep Shukla, Dr. Rekha Vishwakarma

Abstract: Nearly half of the glob's Population now resides in town areas. People are leaving rural areas in developing nations where the population is rapidly expanding. In less than two decades, over two billion people will be pushed into town areas, some of which are already crowded by the combination of these factors. The circumstances that many new town residents find there only make things worse. The majority of town growth occurs without formed planning constraints, which exacerbates hygienic and health issues while also raising economic and social pressures. The ability to bring people together, share and improve ideas, help decision making and evaluate projects are the key benefits of geoinformatics technology in town planning.
