1. What is Geographic Information System?

Geographic Information System (GIS) integrates hardware, software, and data for capturing, managing, analyzing, and displaying all forms of location-based information. The functions of a GIS are visualization, geodata management, and geographic analysis.

With GIS, the City is better able to track, reference, and maintain physical infrastructure such as buildings, roads and utilities and to use that information in making decisions and solving problems for public services. Please visit the websites listed on our GIS page for more information.
