The related technology will be more advanced, in particular providing greater connectivity globally to local. At that time there will be new ways in which to represent geospatial information and how this geospatial information relates to and value-adds to other information. There will be new ways in which humans interact with and use cartography and geospatial information. In 2023 we will be ready to discuss and see in practice the new cartography and geospatial information science and management. The topic of ‘smart cartography’ will be ripe for discussion and debate.
