About

The land administration unit undertakes fundamental and applied research projects for advancing and modernising land administration systems in many jurisdictions around the world. This unit is also responsible for developing innovative methods, intelligent models and digital tools used for capturing, validating, visualising, querying, and analysing land and property data in complex aboveground/underground urban environments.
