IntroductionI would like to welcome you to the first Map Book by the members of the Abu Dhabi Spatial Data Infrastructure
(AD-SDI). This important volume charts another major point on Abu Dhabis path toward harnessing the full power
of geospatial information. Many of the entities whose work is shown in this book have been pioneers in geographic
information systems (GIS) technology for many years. By joining together and sharing their data and expertise
within the AD-SDI framework, they show us the many creative applications of GIS that they use in their work and
that we can also use for policy, planning and decision making.
The maps in this book show us how vast and detailed our geospatial holdings are. Maps show us the rich
archaeological, natural and environmental heritage of Abu Dhabi and point us toward best ways to protect it.
Maps show us population densities and movements to help us determine the best ways to provide services. Maps
show us new and more effective ways to respond to health and civil emergencies.
We extend our thanks to the AD-SDI community members who have contributed to this book and to the initiative
itself. Our AD-SDI community is growing rapidly and the geospatial data shared among its members is expanding.
In the future, the use of geospatial data and analysis will provide an even broader array of images such as these
maps, as we explore how geospatial information can help us reach our goal of building an internationally engaged
eSociety within a balanced and sustainable development agenda.

Initial sitesurveys identified proposed locations for the underground collection system. Next, detailed reviews andanalyses examine the relationship of the proposed locations to the existing and future infrastructuretaking into account requirements for access to and egress from the locations. A map of the approvedlocations will be made available in the near future.

Developments in Review
This map shows developments under review. These developments can affect the location of t ransportationroutes, infrastructure corridors and even impact planning policy across the emirate. As part of its work,UPCs GIS section compiles all of these development locations, the relevant pieces of information relatedto these developments and an illustration of the site plan. These data are stored in the central GISdatabase and can be accessed by all planners in the council. This is one of the most important pieces ofinformation we share with external agencies over the ADSDI Geospatial Portal.

Grand Mosque Viewsheds
The Grand Mosque is an iconic building on the Abu Dhabi landscape; as such, its visibility in the urbanlandscape must be preserved. To accomplish this, the 3D analytical capabilities of GIS are used to isolatethe view corridors and determine the maximum building height available before affecting the view withinthese corridors. These building heights are then worked into the building height regulation for the area.

Detail of an Interactive Visualization of the Carbon Balance
This image is a screen shot of an interactive, navigable Google Earths visualization showing the carbonbalance of individual plots over time. Initially, the plots are red, but as their renewable energy sourcescome on line, they turn blue. The height of the plot represents the quantity of the energy flow. Masdar Citywill be a net-zero producer of carbon emissions over the citys life cycle.
