Smart living is a major key to the fight against climate change. The FIG Working Week will focus on tackling the climate changes by working towards a smarter life both through the development of smart cities and also in rural areas. Spatial information, big data, surveying, BIM, land administration and much more are essential factors in this development. The theme of the Working Week ‘Geospatial information for a smarter life and environmental resilience’ addresses these challenges that are crucial not only in Vietnam but for many all over the world.
