Maps and Data

The Planning Department uses data to support projects across the City. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) allow the analysis and presentation of data based on location (think maps!). This kind of data analysis helps both City- and community-led projects. 

You can use a variety of maps through the Department's Interactive Map Gallery.
