GIS for Urban/Regional Planning and Resource Science, Management and Policy

Planning GIS

Implementation of GIS to support the activities of public planning agencies represents a special challenge because the data requirements for planning are extremely broad. Also, most planning activities rely on existing data from a multitude of sources which may not be compatible in mapping scale, resolution, classification schemes and other issues. GPC staff have developed methods for the effective development of strategic databases for planning, including compiling and reconciling existing manual and digital data sources.
