Sharjah Department of Statistics and Community Development (DSCD) has partnered with 2GIS to develop a smart city map for the emirate. 
The Sharjah smart city map will consist of an accurate 3D map of the emirate with an itemised directory and information of existing and upcoming infrastructure in the region.
Belal Beseiso, vice president of business development, 2GIS, said that the development of the Sharjah smart city map and business directory was strategic since 20% of the UAE’s population reside in the emirate, while the emirate hosts 45% of the total industrial licenses of UAE.
“As one of the emirates that has made its name as an economic, educational and cultural centre, the smart city map of Sharjah will play a central role in providing visitors and residents a readily available map of the emirate complete with accurate and up to date information of all key facilities and how to reach them,” he added.
Data collected by 2GIS will be used to develop a digital geographical guide ahead of the upcoming Sharjah Census 2015 exercise.
