City Planning Labs (CPL) is a Technical Assistance program of the World Bank, which aims to enhance the technical and institutional capacity of municipal governments to produce, share, and utilize geospatial data for evidence-led urban planning. The foundation of CPL includes the establishment of a robust and innovative Municipal Spatial Data Infrastructure (MSDI) platform.
Municipal Spatial Data Infrastructure (MSDI) is the platform that facilitates the organization, sharing and utilization of geospatial information to tackle the challenges to achieve sustainable urban development. It is the cornerstone of any strategy for cities aspiring to embrace digital transformation and for the long-term success of smart city initiatives.
Clear action plans for MSDI operationalization i.e., MSDI Roadmaps, have been developed by CPL partner cities using a four-pillar IPDS framework. IPDS pillars correspond to Institutional Arrangements (local regulations and data governance protocols), People (competency frameworks and skill development), Data (collection, processing, management, utilization, and data driven tools), and Systems (Integrated Data Platform i.e., Geoportal).
