[blockquote text=”“This year’s entrants have continued to deliver world class examples of how using geospatial technology is delivering tangible benefits and increasing productivity for a diverse range of businesses, communities, local and central governments.””]Included in the list of finalists is the exciting Envision Scenario Planner (ESP), a geospatial tool for socio-economic and environmental assessment & modelling for urban regeneration of neighbourhoods. This has been nominated in the Environment & Sustainability Category. Also nominated are the GRI’s own Simon Kingham, Kat Salm and intern Will Jones. All finalists were announced at a Breakfast held at the Wellington Club this morning.
