<div dir="ltr">Wonderful to see Jodhpur taking the lead in making the masterplan more accessible. As Devdatta said, publishing the data under an open license (GODL or CC-BY) needs to be the first step in making the data itself accessible to the public. <div><br></div><div>This will allow the OSM community to inspect the data and evaluate how to best integrate the data into the basemap. Do note that while there may be some parts of the masterplan worth importing, it is unlikely that all of the data will be relevant for use in OSM. This is because the project is largely focused on mapping what exists on the ground today which is different from the objective of a masterplan.</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sun, Feb 16, 2025 at 2:42 PM Devdatta Tengshe <<a href="mailto:devdatta@tengshe.in">devdatta@tengshe.in</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-style:solid;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto"><div>Hello vijay!<div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">I'm so glad that a government department is thinking in such a progressive manner and wants to open source their data. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Do you need to put the data yourself in osm?

My name is Vijay, and I
am a Town Planner working with the Jodhpur Development Authority in
Jodhpur, India. Our authority is responsible for preparing and
implementing the Master Plan for the city, including horizon year
landuse plans. Currently, we have published a landuse plan for the year
2031, which we believe can benefit from being made accessible to a
larger audience through OpenStreetMap (OSM).</p>
<p>We aim to release this landuse data on OSM so that it
can be utilized by various stakeholders such as residents, developers,
researchers, and others. By making this data publicly accessible, we
hope to enhance transparency and awareness of the proposed landuse,
which could help mitigate issues like encroachment.</p>
<p>We have the landuse data available in shapefile and
KML/KMZ formats. However, I am not familiar with coding or technical
processes required to upload this data to OSM. I would greatly
appreciate guidance or support from the community in uploading this data
correctly while adhering to OSM's guidelines and standards.</p>
<p>Please let me know how we can proceed or if there are
specific steps we need to follow. Your assistance will be invaluable in
ensuring that this data is shared effectively with the community.</p>
<p>Looking forward to your response.</p>
<p>Best regards,<br>
