摘要

The 2008 Workshop and Annual Meeting of FIG Commission 3 on "Spatial Information Management (SIM) Toward Environmental Management of Mega Cities" took place in Valencia, Spain, from 18th to 21st February 2008. This Workshop was supported by ISPRS, EARSeL, INSPIRE, EuroSDR, UN/ECE Committee on Housing and Land Management and the Working Party on Land Administration, and FIG Commission 2. In attendance was Steve Frank, ACSM FIG Forum Delegate to Commission 2. The year 2007 was a turning point in human history as 50% of the world's population became urbanized. Rapid urbanization is a phenomenon of our times. The speed and scale of current urban population growth generate important challenges for surveyors, planners and governments.
