Aerial photography of Riga has been initiated

Aerial photography of Riga and its territory has begun on the 1st of May. This is being undertaken for the necessities of the Riga Municipality and will considerably facilitate work, related to planning, building and analysis of the geographical information of Riga’s territory.

The last time the capital of Latvia was photographed for this aim was in 1999.

The high-resolution photomap obtained will be accessible to every interested person in the Geographical Information System of Riga on the Internet at – www.rigis.lv Every day the Municipality of Riga as well as other authorities and enterprises will be able to use this map, realizing projects related to the land of the Self-government of Riga planning and development, as far as analyzing geographical data of Riga.

Riga City Council Information Technologies Center’s director Eriks Zegelis: “Riga has been developing and changing very quickly since 1999, thus, now the map older than 8 years old serves as an approximate descriptive material. There are more than 7000 new buildings and structures built in Riga since the year 2000. However presently accessible aerial photos lack such buildings as the City Hall, Hansabanka administrative building, reconstruction of railroad station area et al, strategically important buildings of the city”.
