On 8 January 2025, a delegation from Southwest Jiaotong University visited The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) for a half-day exchange at the Department of Land Surveying and Geo-Informatics (LSGI). The delegation was warmly welcomed by Prof. Wu, Associate Head of Research at LSGI, along with all the programme leaders from the department. The visit commenced with a meeting where both institutions shared their latest managerial experiences and explored potential areas for collaboration.
Following the meeting, the delegation was given a tour of two of LSGI's laboratories: the “Laboratory for Smart City and Spatial Big Data Analytics” and the “Underground Utility Survey Laboratory,” where visitors were introduced to advanced techniques and tools used for subsurface mapping and utility management. The laboratory in charge, Prof. John Shi, demonstrated how big data and geospatial technologies are being leveraged to enhance urban living and sustainability, with cutting-edge equipment and methodologies highlighting PolyU's commitment to addressing urban infrastructure challenges.
This visit marks a significant step in strengthening the partnership between Southwest Jiaotong University and PolyU, paving the way for further collaboration in the field of land surveying and geo-informatics.
