In the United Arab Emirates (UAE), the Federal Competitiveness and Statistics Centre (FCSC) initiated a project to reform data management and accessibility. With the aid of Esri's ArcGIS Enterprise suite, and support from Esri Platinum Partner, Khatib & Alami, FCSC developed the 1Map Platform. This platform serves as a centralized hub for integrating vast statistical data with geospatial insights, enabling users to access, visualize, and analyze key statistical information through interactive dashboards, story maps, and other visualization tools. By leveraging AI for building extraction and adopting best practices in GIS implementation, the project enhances data accessibility, fosters collaboration among government entities, and empowers decision-makers with valuable insights for informed governance.
