Manage the growth of neighborhoods in a sustainable manner
Whether in urban, suburban, or rural areas, planners are expected to manage the long-term growth of communities in a viable way. Local government planning professionals must plan for varying levels of growth based on the needs and desires in each neighborhood. In today’s environment of increased counter-urbanization, this can cause new stresses on communities that weren’t anticipating rapid levels of growth. GIS tools provide the technology for planners to test build-out capacity in neighborhoods based on established parameters and provide multiple data-driven development scenarios to administrators, community leaders, and the public for feedback.
Identify current and projected demographic and socioeconomic variables to identify areas with need for additional growth.
Evaluate capacity for growth in land-use regulations.
Measure key indicators with spatial analysis for prioritizing sustainable growth.
Use a data-driven approach to compare and model a diverse range of affordable housing scenarios including multifamily housing and single-family homes.
Visualize proposed developments for affordable homes and inform the public about priority initiatives to address the community housing supply.
