Geographic Information Systems
Simply put, a GIS combines layers of information about a place to give you a better understanding of that place. What layers of information you combine depends on your purpose-finding the best location for a new store, analyzing environmental damage, viewing similar crimes in a city to detect a pattern, and so on.

The Corporate GIS Section is responsible for creating and administering a City-Wide GIS System. This includes development of core databases and GIS applications for all business units in the City.
