The construction industry plays a major role in the growth and urbanization of cities and towns by providing new infrastructure and employing skilled workers. As cities rapidly expand, pressures to provide built environment spaces mount; as a result, expectations for the construction industry continue to rise. Worldwide, governments like that of India are pouring more money into major infrastructure projects such as highways, rail, urban metro, and multi-modal integrated public transportation systems. In such a context, the widespread adoption of new technology by the construction industry is highly anticipated. With improved productivity, efficiency, quality, and collaboration, industries can reap substantial economic benefits from using Industry 4.0 tools.

The India Urban Data Exchange: Overview of Rationale, Architecture and Methodology (March 2020)
presents how multidimensional technologies—3D cadastre, indoor mapping, VR/3D visualization, and BIM—can assist the development of a smart state. By enabling accurate property registration, efficient land use, and integrated infrastructure planning, these technologies address the challenges of Israel’s growing population density and complex urban environments. Adoption requires unified standards, quality control, collaboration across agencies, and workforce training. With these steps, Israel can position itself as a global leader in smart governance and digital land management.
