The reporter learned from the Beijing Municipal Commission of Planning and Natural Resources on the 13th that the “Beijing Municipal Regulations on Surveying, Mapping and Geographic Information” have been reviewed and approved by the 26th session of the Standing Committee of the 16th Beijing Municipal People's Congress and will take effect on January 1, 2027. According to reports, the regulations consist of nine chapters and 66 articles. They are based on the strategic positioning of the capital city, coordinate development and safety, follow the principles of unified benchmarks, innovation-driven, collaborative sharing, and enabling application, and focus on pain points such as difficulties in sharing surveying and mapping results in practice, slow updates, and insufficient support for new business formats. The aim is to promote the development of surveying, mapping and geographic information services and support the construction of smart cities and benchmark cities for the global digital economy. In terms of promoting the innovation and upgrading of the surveying, mapping and geographic information industry, Beijing will use scientific and technological innovation to lead industrial upgrading, strengthen basic research, original innovation and key core technology research, promote the construction of an intelligent surveying, mapping, and geographic information technology system; improve financial, financial, technology, talent and other policies to increase the supply of market-based surveying and geographic information data resources; introduce basic surveying and mapping update methods to prepare and update the city's unified spatio-temporal basemap; and establish rapid review mechanisms such as autonomous driving maps. After the regulations are implemented, they will further balance the security bottom line with industrial development, break down blockages such as difficulties in collecting and using data and weak security and confidential supervision, and provide solid legal guarantees to protect the capital's geographic information security and consolidate the spatial and temporal foundations of smart cities and the digital economy.
