Efficient 3D Spatial Query Processing for Geospatial Analytics towards Sustainable Smart Citites$393Kvalue2024start2026end

With the rapid growth of population in cities, the associated complexities and challenges due to the accelerated demand for basic services such as housing, transportation, healthcare and employment are also rising. This increased urban expansion exerts pressure on the natural resources and contributes to the greenhouse gas emission. Digital technologies, particularly, smart cities can help in addressing many of these challenges related to urban growth. Geospatial analytics and 3D spatial query processing techniques will be key enabler for the smart cities technologies. However, the existing sp
