Trimble Solutions at Work
City of Shanghai Digital Greening Project
Over the past several years, the City of Shanghai has been focusing on creating a greener and more sustainable city. To support this effort, the Shanghai Greening and
City Appearance Administration has implemented a digital greening project which aims to transform Shanghai through increased planting and better management of
trees on public land. Trimble hardware solutions are critical to this project for a variety of data collection, ongoing maintenance, and inspection tasks, including:
Trimble GeoXT handhelds for updating a database of over nine million trees to submeter accuracy as part of city-wide, environmentally conscious initiatives in
advance of World Expo 2010
Trimble Juno SC handhelds for ongoing maintenance and inspection tasks including recording the current health of trees, responding to damaged or diseased
trees, and monitoring wildlife in the green areas
“Trying to manage this data with pen and paper was never an option” says “We just wouldn’t have had the data fast enough or
regularly enough and so it would have been pointless trying to do this without an electronic solution.”
Qian Jie, Director of the Shanghai Landscape Administration Information Center
