<div dir="ltr">Dear Dr. Suchith Anand,<div>Greetings.</div><div>This semester, we are teaching students of M Sc/ M Tech Geomatics, the Urban Planning and preparation of Master Plan for Ahmedabad City, where the students will learn to forecast the population, requirement of the land and infrastructure, other facilities, Land Management, Governance and the respective Policy. The local Urban Development Authority, who is responsible for preparation of Master Plan, is joined with us in this exercise. </div>
<div>The Ahmedabad Urban Development Authority, which is the first one to use high resolution satellite imagery since many years for update the land use maps. They are using GIS software for the preparation of thematic maps and zoning purpose. </div>
<div>Since this Authority has an interest in use of the GIS technology (not many Authorities desire to use GIS) for their daily functioning, the officials want us to support them and expand the usefulness of GIS in Authority. </div>
<div>The problem begins with 'Planners do not have enough knowledge of use of GIS and GIS experts/ analysts do not understand what is the planners' demand'. </div><div>Reading these emails, I am happy and would like to Congratulate Dr, James, you and the team. I would propose my desire to be a partner to this project/ initiative.</div>
<div>Thanking you.</div><div>With best regards</div><div>Anjana</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Anjana Vyas (PhD)</div><div>Professor</div><div>CEPT University</div><div>Ahmedabad</div><div>INDIA</div>

Suchith - sorry have come late to the party but definitely interested in Smart Cities H2020. We have just got £50m approved for Science Central development and are now in a position to start really thinking about fixed and mobile geo-sensors and how these interact with the public, the buildings and the city and more importantly we can leverage this infrastructure, equipment (including for once development and data teams - real salaries for real posts!) funding into H2020.<br>
