[Manual] CPL Municipal Spatial Data Infrastructure (MSDI) Manual

Created Mar 18 2021, 12:18 PM by Danielle Simone Robinson

In order to enable this data-driven approach to urban planning and service delivery, the World Bank City Planning Labs (CPL) initiative has undertaken an ecosystem approach to operationalize Municipal Spatial Data Infrastructure (MSDI) in partner cities. It helps manage and maintain geospatial data through interventions across its agile and scalable four-pillared IPDS framework (Institutional Arrangements, People, Data, Systems).

This manual (the first in a series) shares the experience gained by CPL after an intensive, hands-on, iterative development phase. It attempts to coherently document processes refined over two years of implementation in Indonesian cities. It offers solutions that are largely generalizable to other country contexts and is intended to contribute to better decision making that will ultimately lead to more equitable and sustainable development.
