Rapid urbanization has created an unprecedented pressure on the use of land in cities around the world, resulting in physical and legal complexities. This book explains the theoretical basis and practicality of connecting urban land administration practices with the 3D digital data environment of Building Information Modelling (BIM). The main focus is to adopt a BIM-based paradigm for enhancing communication and management of complex ownership rights in multi-story buildings, which are prevalent in urban built environments. This book first elaborates on a range of data elements required for managing legal information in current land administration practices pertaining to subdivision of legal interests within multi-story building developments. It then explains how an open data model in the BIM domain – Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) – can be extended with legal data elements to lay the foundation for adopting BIM in urban land administration. The book also highlights benefits and barriers of implementing BIM-enabled urban land administration.Features Explains the theoretical basis and practicality of connecting urban land administration practices with the 3D digital data environment of BIM. Highlights the existing challenges associated with current practice of urban land administration for multi-story buildings. Introduces the potential of 3D digital environment of BIM for the purpose of mapping and registering legal interests. Describes how BIM-based data models can be extended for recording, managing, and representing legal ownership of properties over a building's lifecycle. Includes models of multi-story buildings as case studies to demonstrate the feasibility of extended BIM-based data models.

This book provides a comprehensive understanding of how advanced intelligent geospatial technologies are transforming the way we record, register, manage, and use land. It explains the basics of intelligent land administration systems, explores new innovative technologies for capturing, validating, storing, querying, and analysing aboveground and underground land ownership, and discusses how geospatial innovations impact urban planning, sustainability, and legal frameworks. Readers will gain insight into how incorporating new intelligence into land administration and geospatial ecosystems can shape our cities, improve infrastructure management, and address location-based challenges in a rapidly changing world. FeaturesProvides new content on digital, integrated, and intelligent solutions for delivering on-demand knowledge about land and geospatial information and examines the value of this information for sustainability and resilience.Includes several case studies, prototype systems, and models that demonstrate the feasibility of intelligent land administration system design and development.Explains the foundational role of intelligent land administration systems in improving geospatially enabled decision making for design, planning, construction, and management of complex urban environments.Describes the complexity of land and geospatial information in aboveground and underground environments and how digitally intelligent solutions can help address land and geospatial data management and communication challenges.Includes new material on digital environments that provides a fully integrated view interlinking the legal ownership of land parcels and physical reality of complex environments, including buildings and urban infrastructure.This is an excellent book for professionals, academics, researchers, and students in land administration, geospatial information systems, geomatics and surveying, remote sensing and urban planning, sustainability science, disaster management, architecture, infrastructure engineering, and digital construction.
