In one of my urban planning projects, resolving GIS discrepancies required a multi-layered validation approach. First, ground truthing with drones and LiDAR scans provided high-accuracy updates. Second, integrating real-time IoT sensors helped track environmental and infrastructure changes dynamically. Third, engaging with citizen science initiatives—allowing local communities to report inconsistencies via mobile GIS apps—proved invaluable. Finally, using AI-driven spatial analytics streamlined anomaly detection, ensuring data reliability.
