ABSTRACT
Land administration systems provide an overarching framework to design and implement effective policies and strategies associated with the planning and development of land in line with the goals of sustainable development. Rapid urbanization and population growth have meant an unprecedented pressure on the development and use of land in cities around the world. Urban land administrations practices among all jurisdictions commonly rely on 2D-based methods of partitioning the spatial extent of rights, restrictions, and responsibilities spaces within multi-owned developments. Building subdivision practices currently use 2D analogue or digital plans for delineating the legal limits of properties in multi-story buildings. Three-dimensional (3D) physical models have been developed in construction or geospatial industries to either design new buildings or capture the physical reality of existing buildings. Building information model provides a very rich and intelligent digital infrastructure for managing 3D building components over the entire lifecycle of buildings.
