Rooted in Data Collaborative GIS Insights for Greener Spaces

The integration of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) into the design process is transforming how we create and maintain more sustainable municipal developments. This presentation explores how GIS-based tree mapping serves as a powerful tool to inform data-driven decisions that promote the preservation of tree canopy, help navigate municipal code and zoning requirements, and lead to better managed facilities. Attendees will discover how GIS can be used as a site-design tool to create tree inventories and analyze spatial relationships in real time, navigating zoning and tree ordinances and guiding strategic placement of green infrastructure. The session highlights how advancements in GIS technology can be adapted to promote greener park and greenway design - providing designers, horticulturists and park professionals with the ability to gather valuable tree data, review on-site design impacts through spatial mapping, and create interactive exhibits to guide municipal and stakeholder engagement. Examples will be presented to show this technology has facilitated decision-making and aided in enabling shared goals for tree preservation and planting, has been used to influence the design of parks and greenways and how we have prioritized tree protection to balance and mitigate the impact of new construction.
