Planners find themselves immersed in the many daily challenges facing local government and need advanced tools and solutions to solve them. Today, counter-urbanization, open streets, curbside management, and micromobility are some of the new concerns that planning professionals must address. GIS technology adds the element of location into each of these workflows, modifying outdated manual processes and making sense of vast amounts of information. Tasks like public notification and land-use inquiries can be automated. Data from staff in the field can be standardized. Web applications can use comprehensive data to visualize, measure, and analyze proposed developments.
