Iraq to establish a national data center for land management

Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) – Bangen Rekani, Iraq’s Minister of Construction, Housing, Municipalities, and Public Works, has confirmed a scheme to construct a national data center for land management. This statement came as Rekani presided over a meeting of the Permanent Committee for Lands, which was attended by the Mayor of Baghdad and committee members from several government organizations.

According to Rekani, the data center would employ a uniform smart system for counting and administering lands, as well as identifying ownership and usage. The data center will also function as an information bank for any government or planning agency, saving a significant amount of time and effort when designing any new project or sector in the future.

The meeting included a discussion of proposals presented by various firms specializing in geographic information systems (GIS), digital mapping, and developing spatial systems.
