Administration of spatial information in the Americas
Reyes Ibarra, Mario Alberto
International economic and social development is currently facing a number of challenges that require the adoption of new schemes and paradigms associated to globalization and sustainable development. One of such challenges is to make the most and best of available statistical and geographic information. These ideas are in the agenda of several international forums that reflect the governmentss concern to provide an adequate response to problems affecting social and human development in our countries. Those forums include the World Summit on Sustainable Development (2002, South Africa), the World Summit on the Information Society (2003, Switzerland) and the Special Summit of the Americas (2004, Mexico).
