GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS

Evanston's Geographic Information System (GIS) was created to offer a better way to view and analyze Evanston's activities and features by combining geographic layers of information. Any information related to addresses, tax parcels, buildings, streets, utilities, political boundaries, etc., can be incorporated into Evanston's GIS as a layer.

 

Currently, Evanston's GIS incorporates over 150 of these layers which can be maintained, studied and analyzed together in a visual context. The goal of Evanston's GIS is to make this information easily available to all employees and residents. The ability to view and analyze this information allows people to be more informed, more efficient and to make better decisions.
