URP GIS - Urban Resilience & Emergency Management Platform
Location
Dhaka North, Dhaka South & Sylhet City Corporations, Bangladesh
Solution Type
Geographic Information System (GIS) for emergency management and urban operations
Delivery Model
Custom-fit modules with mobile & web access, 24/7 support, and ISO-certified data protection
Project Overview
URP (Urban Resilience Planning) GIS is an advanced, city-scale GIS solution that strengthens urban resilience and emergency preparedness by combining real-time incident management, dynamic mapping, and infrastructure oversight in a single platform. Cities use it to make faster, data-driven decisions, streamline response, and optimize resources, reducing costs while improving public safety.
Deployed in Dhaka and Sylhet, URP GIS has transformed day-to-day urban management and disaster readiness through actionable insights, seamless collaboration across teams, and scalable, future-proof technology.
Developed by Streams Tech with CEGIS, the platform runs as a web and mobile application for Dhaka North, Dhaka South and Sylhet City Corporations. Each corporation's team works with its own incidents, equipment and dashboards, while a public portal shares recent incidents, published maps, news and ward boundaries.
Typical Use Cases
- Real-time incident logging and alerting during flood and fire events.
- Spatial analysis to identify high-risk areas and optimize evacuation zones.
- Asset readiness and coverage check for fire stations, water sources, and equipment depots.
- Cross-team coordination with synchronized updates between field and command centers.
Core Capabilities
Incident Management
- Centralized tools to monitor, log, and manage emergencies in real time.
- Automated alerts for floods, fires, and other critical hazards to accelerate response.
Mapping & Spatial Tools
- Interactive maps with distance measurement, radius search, and bounding-box analysis.
- Multi-layered spatial data for deeper analysis and decision support.
Infrastructure Oversight
- Readiness mapping of fire stations, water sources, evacuation centers, and equipment depots to ensure rapid deployment and safe routing.
Mobile & Web Access
- Real-time collaboration for field teams and planners across devices, with seamless data and GIS layer updates anytime, anywhere.

Implementation Highlights (Dhaka & Sylhet)
Proven Success
URP GIS deployments for Dhaka North, Dhaka South and Sylhet City Corporations enhanced urban management and disaster preparedness, building confidence in the platform's reliability and effectiveness.
End-to-End Enablement
Tailored modules, 24/7 availability, and dedicated training ensure uninterrupted operations and rapid adoption.
Security & Compliance
ISO-certified data protection safeguards sensitive operational information.
A full-featured emergency GIS for city corporations
The web and mobile application gives DNCC, DSCC and SCC teams one place to log incidents, track equipment, and analyze risk on the map.
Incident Lodging & Tracking
Record road accidents, fire breakouts and other incidents, filter them by type, status and date, and export to CSV.
Emergency Points of Interest
See fire stations, water sources and emergency evacuation centers around each incident on the map.
Equipment & Depot Registry
Track equipment by category, status and owner, flag critical items, and assign equipment from depots to incidents.
Ward-Wise Dashboards
Incident and equipment dashboards, with ward-level incident counts on a color-coded map and zone and ward filters.
Routing & Nearest Facility
Shortest routes between any two points, and every route within a radius with the shortest one highlighted.
Spatial Search & Measurement
Radius, bounding-box and cross-layer buffer searches with results saved as new layers, plus distance and area tools.
Layer Upload & Permissions
Upload shapefiles and CSVs, download layers in multiple formats, and set who can view, edit, style or manage each layer.
Map Styling & Printing
Classify data by unique value or range, add labels, bubble and chart visualizations, and print maps with legends.
Role-Based Administration
Admins manage staff, designations, organizations, users and role permissions, with dashboards scoped to each organization.
Support & Delivery
Comprehensive Support
24/7 assistance for continuous operations.
Dedicated Training
Personalized onboarding to maximize system efficiency.
Custom-Fit Solutions
Modules tailored to the needs of cities and organizations.
User Manual & Documentation
Step-by-step user manual for the web and mobile application, covering every module from incident lodging to administration.
