Geographical Information Systems provides the civil engineer today with tools for creating, managing, analyzing, and visualizing all types of geographic information. This information can be related to both the project and its broader geographic context. GIS is thus playing an increasingly important role in civil engineering projects, supporting all phases of the design cycle.
In India too, Government and non-government organizations such as municipalities, planning and architectural firms, and real-estate organizations, are increasingly realizing the power of using such technologies to make their systems more efficient.
This paper presents a practical usage of a variety of geospatial tools that can be of significance to the community working on 'built form'.
