This book provides a comprehensive understanding of how advanced intelligent geospatial technologies are transforming the way we record, register, manage and use land. It explains the basics of intelligent land administration systems, explores new innovative technologies for capturing, validating, storing, querying and analyzing aboveground and underground land ownership, and discusses how geospatial innovations impact urban planning, sustainability, and legal frameworks. Readers will gain insight into how incorporating new intelligence into land administration and geospatial ecosystems can shape our cities, improve infrastructure management, and address location-based challenges in a rapidly changing world.
