Guided by Ir Allen Yeung, JP, Government Chief Information Officer of HKSAR Government, Mr Zuxin Zhang, Chairman of BD International Technology Group Limited and two assistants took a visit to the Department of Land Surveying and Geo-Informatics (LSGI) and our Lab for Smart City and Spatial Big Data Analytics on 27 April, 2018.   Prof. John Shi, Head of LSGI, gave an introduction on our research directions and recent research projects in Smart City which were also aligned with Blue Print of the HKSAR Government on Smart City Development. The Prof. Xiao-li Ding and Prof. Wu Chen also joined the tour and discussion. Participants exchanged their ideas and had fruitful discussion on the topic.   The Laboratory for Smart City and Spatial Big Data Analytics was officially launched in March 2018 which would serve as a platform for scientists, scholars and researchers from Hong Kong, the Greater Bay Area and the world, to share an interest in Urban Informatics. We look forward to more future collaborations with industry and Government on Smart City Development.
