WHAT IS GIS?

GIS is technology that is used to create, manage, analyze, and map all types of data.

GIS connects data to maps, integrating spatial data (where things are) with various types of descriptive information and attribute data (what things are). This provides a foundation for mapping and analysis that is used citywide. GIS helps users understand patterns, relationships, and geographic context. This beneﬁts leaders in improved communication, efficiency, management, and decision-making.

Data Management: GIS serves as a foundational system of record for many datasets throughout the city. GIS integrates with other data and business systems, magnifying their usefulness.

Spatial Analysis: Most data has a location component. Everything happens somewhere. Through spatial analysis, GIS detects relationships and generates insights.

Mapping and Visualization: From digital maps and dashboards to satellite imagery, and real time. GIS brings data to life, helping users and leaders understand problems and solve them.

Communication: Maps and dashboards communicate complex ideas quickly. Science and data build common understanding, supporting collaboration and problem-solving.

The GIS program is committed to providing access to its data resources, for external users and staff.
