The Role of GIS in Cambridge

A Geographic Information System (GIS) is a computer resource that makes map creation and information retrieval efficient and easy. The City of Cambridge uses GIS to create, maintain, and analyze its spatial information. GIS has become an important component for projects in nearly every department of the City. Some examples of available Cambridge GIS data include roads, buildings, tax parcels, water lines, street lights, and aerial photographs.

NEW WEB Gis tools coming!

New easy to use interactive GIS Web tools will be rolled out within the new CDD Web page this month.  Several different themes will be included in the Web page including Parks, CDD Projects, Commercial Districts, Special Permits, and LEED Buildings.  These tools allow the user to get detailed information about the theme by clicking a single point on the map.
