Nazru Unveils a Landmark Geospatial Dataset for Moscow, Featuring Unprecedented Detail in Infrastructure and Asset Mapping

At Nazru, we are dedicated to pushing the boundaries of geospatial intelligence. Our latest achievement is a landmark, high-resolution satellite-derived dataset for Moscow, designed to be the most comprehensive urban digital twin available. This dataset transforms satellite imagery into a structured, actionable vector database, capturing the very fabric of the city to empower data-driven decisions across government and industry.

The Foundation: 10-Meter Resolution Satellite Imagery
Constructed from high-fidelity 10-meter resolution satellite imagery, this dataset provides the ideal baseline for accurate wide-area analysis and detailed feature identification. This ensures a perfect balance between broad contextual understanding and the granular precision needed for strategic planning.

A Multi-Layered Vector Model: Capturing Moscow in Three Dimensions
Our expert analysts have employed advanced techniques to extract and classify a complete suite of vector features, creating a multi-layered digital model of the city:

  • Polygons: Precisely delineating buildings, industrial zones, land use parcels, forests, and water bodies.

  • Lines: Mapping the complete hierarchy of transportation and utility networks, including:

    • Roads: motorway, trunk, primary, secondary, tertiary

    • Rail: railway

    • Water: waterway

A Granular Inventory of Key Locations: Our Point Feature Classes

The true power of this dataset lies in its granularity. We have meticulously digitized and classified a comprehensive inventory of point features, including but not limited to:

Transportation & Mobility:
airport, bus_station, railway_station, parking

Settlements & Administrative:
national_capital, city, town, village, suburb, hamlet, locality

Public Services & Critical Infrastructure:
hospital, fire_station, police, prison, college, cemetery, recycling, wastewater_plant, water_well

Tourism, Leisure & Commerce:
marina, beach, camp_site, caravan_site, castle, monument, park, pitch, playground, hotel, lighthouse, mall, market_place

Driving Sector-Specific Innovation with Actionable Data

This integrated dataset, combining infrastructure lines with precise POIs, is engineered to deliver transformative solutions:

1. Insurance: Enhanced Risk Modeling & Claims Response

  • Use hospital and fire_station locations to refine response time analytics for property risk assessment.

  • Identify high-value commercial clusters using mall and market_place points for portfolio management.

  • Model secondary risks by analyzing proximity to specific POIs like industrial zones or water_wells.

2. Municipal & State Government: Smarter Urban Management

  • Optimize public service delivery by analyzing the distribution of facilities like hospitals, colleges, and recycling centers against population centers (city, town, suburb).

  • Plan emergency evacuation routes using the road network with safe zones like parks and playgrounds.

  • Manage tourism and cultural heritage by monitoring assets marked as castle, monument, and museum.

3. Civil Engineering: Informed Project Planning & Logistics

  • Conduct optimal site selection for new projects by evaluating proximity to quarries, railway_stations, and motorway access points.

  • Plan worker logistics and temporary facilities (camp_site) based on the location of key POIs.

  • Ensure compliance and avoid conflicts with protected sites or existing infrastructure like water_plants and cemeteries.

4. Telecommunications: Strategic Network Deployment

  • Identify high-demand zones for network capacity by analyzing concentrations of hotels, malls, and residential areas (suburb, hamlet).

  • Plan the placement of new cell towers by analyzing line-of-sight to locality points and ensuring coverage along trunk and primary roads.

  • Use park and playground points for community Wi-Fi planning initiatives.
