Smart City Series: Building Information Modelling

 

In the last issue, we explored Artificial Intelligence, one of the technologies underlying Smart Cities development.  In this issue, we continue learning another technologies that supports Smart Cities development, namely the Building Information Modelling (BIM).  Not too long ago, HKIP ETC has successfully organized a BIM+GIS training.  In case you have missed the training, perhaps you can catch up here:
