Smart Geospatial Practices and Applications in Local Government

---

Conventional wisdom says that wide-ranging, multi-disciplinary events and
a myriad of new technological pathways influence our current geographic
information system (GIS) environment. In this introduction, I offer a brief
history of GIS technology: how GIS professionals influenced the industry
and how GIS technology reinvented local government. I discuss how rapid
technological evolution rather than technological paradigm shifts influenced
the geospatial industry. I also introduce and explain the hot topic of smart,
sustainable, resilient and high-performing local government organizations
and briefly discuss the significance of business realization planning. Lastly,
I volunteer descriptions of our complex geospatial future and the myriad
ways a new GIS maturity model would benefit us all.
Before we dive headlong into the world of GIS and geo-smart government,
I just want to say that, for the record, the science of GIS technology is fundamentally about connecting people with other people and data in service of
informed decision making. Our evolving geospatial ecosystem connects and
engages people, transforms communities and modernizes our world. An
interconnected world will drive innovation, promote our economy, enhance
education and promote social change.
