Kowloon Central 3D map launched

The Lands Department today launched the 3D Visualisation Map dataset of Kowloon Central and an online application platform Open3Dhk for the public to use free of charge.   To tie in with the development of a smart city, the department started the production of a citywide 3D Visualisation Map in 2021 for release in phases. The first 3D Visualisation Map covering Kowloon East was launched in December 2022.   The Kowloon Central 3D map released today comprises around 9,500 buildings and about 210 individual models of infrastructures, including flyovers, footbridges and subways. It can be downloaded through the Common Spatial Data Infrastructure portal.   Open3Dhk, an online platform transforming a variety of spatial data into user-friendly applications which can support diverse uses by the public, the academia and professionals was also launched today.   Through the interactive functions on the platform, users can view photorealistic 3D city models of Kowloon East and Kowloon Cent

Oct inflation up 1.7%

Overall consumer prices rose 1.7% in October year-on-year, larger than the 1.4% growth in September, the Census & Statistics Department announced today.   Netting out the effects of the Government’s one-off relief measures, October’s underlying inflation rate went up 1.1% compared to a year earlier, marginally larger than the 1% recorded in September.   Compared with October last year, price increases were seen in electricity, gas and water, clothing and footwear, transport, meals out and takeaway food, durable goods, basic food, miscellaneous services and alcoholic drinks and tobacco.   On the other hand, year-on-year decreases in miscellaneous goods and housing were recorded.   The Government noted that the prices of energy-related items and certain individual items in such major consumer price index components as clothing and footwear and transport saw more visible year-on-year increases.   Price pressures on many other major components remained modest.    Looking ahead, while inflation pressure may go up somewhat in the near term, alongside a faster increase in import prices and the economic recovery, the underlying inflation should remain largely in check as domestic cost pressures are still tame, it added.
