BMC Developing 3D Digital Map Of Mumbai City

BMC Developing 3D Digital Map Of Mumbai City
After attempting the project as a pilot in South Mumbai’s Worli neighbourhood in September of last year, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has begun the process of developing a three-dimensional digital model of Mumbai city. In addition to its open spaces, municipal facilities, and slums, Mumbai’s buildings, roads, bridges, underpasses, water bodies, means of transportation, and traffic islands will all be represented on a digital map thanks to the process of 3D mapping. There will be a 360-degree street view on this map. The initiative is being carried out for the first time across Mumbai. The Worli region, which is mostly encompassed by the G/South administrative ward of the local body, was 3D mapped by BMC in September 2021. While Mumbai City is around 480 sq km in size, the project will be carried out over an area of 500 sq km since buffer space is needed while employing mapping technologies.
