To satisfy the modern demands of the smart cities notion, the concept of a portal that acts as a hub was adopted to extend and complement the existing AD-SDI framework. Under the name “Rawy Abu Dhabi”, the new hub will be used as an innovation and collaboration platform powered by Geographic Information Systems (GIS) that will provide a wide range of capabilities which will help the Emirate become a GeoSmart government driven by innovative thinking and services that will help achieving the Goals and Programs of the Abu Dhabi Plan.
