The Singapore Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) has earned global recognition for their geoanalytics tool, GEMMA. GEMMA provides Singapore’s planning agencies with a common platform to conduct integrated land use planning analysis and simulation.
Selected from among more than 100,000 organisations worldwide, URA was presented with the Special Achievement in GIS (SAG) award by Jack Dangermond, Founder and CEO of global mapping giant Esri.
The award recognises URA’s innovative use of geo-analytics to develop smart solutions for better integrated planning and optimal use of resources.
GEMMA was developed in collaboration with the Institute for Infocomm Research (I2R) and other planning agencies. It taps on Esri’s geospatial platform ArcGIS as backbone infrastructure.
With GEMMA, land use planning can be done much faster and with deeper insights, as planners can collaboratively analyse, compose, and evaluate urban planning scenarios on a common platform.
GEMMA allows planners to combine map-based information from different government agencies with data analytics. Planners can generate land use scenarios, formulate plans and evaluate inter-dependencies between residents, jobs, transport, community amenities and more.
URA CEO Ng Lang said, “URA has embarked on deploying geographical information systems (GIS) and related data analytics tools to improve the way we plan and coordinate across agencies. This award is a much welcomed affirmation that we are heading in the right direction.”
Esri Singapore CEO Thomas Pramotedham said, “In line with its Smart Nation vision, Singapore has continually relied on smart planning tools to ensure its ongoing development can meet the current and future needs of its citizens.”
“URA’s __SAG award further strengthens Singapore’s position as a global best practice in sustainable urban planning and design, which cities from all over the world can follow. As a strategic partner of URA, we look forward to supporting them in making Singapore a great place to live, work and play,” Pramotedham said.
