The Dubai Land Department (DLD) has teamed with Space Imaging Middle East to render high-quality project images in the emirate and help to create accurate and comprehensive maps.

The department seeks to apply the latest in advanced technologies to create a library of high-resolution satellite images that will allow investors from all over the world to clearly view projects in relation to investment opportunities in Dubai, said Majida Ali Rashid, chairperson of the DLD Real Estate Investment and Promotion Centre.

The enhanced imagery will facilitate access to project information and incorporate features such as 3-D display on smart phones and tablets.¨Through the agreement with Space Imaging Middle East, DLD aims to promote various projects and attract local and global investors, which it believes will boost sales.
