How Worldwide Cadastral Updates Can Launch a (Global, Distributed) Marshall Plan for Digital Skills

Philip Auerswald

George Mason University, United States of America

The masterclass will focus on how the process of creating spatial data infrastructure (SDI) can unleash opportunities for a broad cross-cut of populations in countries around the world. We will also cover approaches practically solving this problem of the underlying data
integration through a combination of low-cost connected sensors (the
Internet of Things, or “IoT”); artificial intelligence (AI); and rapidvalidation systems, potentially using the Blockchain. Finally, we will describe the deployment of an end-to-end, sensor-enhanced, human centered system of land management involves the development of distinct operational capabilities. The focus of the masterclass will be on proven models for leveraging public sector investment to create digital opportunity. We will illustrate all these methods through the floods of 2017 in Peru and explore as a potential use case an approach to
addressing the related vulnerability through the aforementioned methods..
