The Special Topics series began during the Chapel Hill 2020 comprehensive planning process as a way to share information with interested residents who want to know more about issues, trends and studies that affect the future. For past topics, see http://bit.ly/zi4gLo.

Garrett Davis, a long range planner for the Town of Chapel Hill, will provide an overview of the various types of planning models the Town uses to analyze and understand data related to future population and employment growth and related transportation and land use impacts. Models help planners gather and analyze information and predict possible future outcomes, based on a set of assumptions. The presentation, which will provide an overview of the current use of planning modes in the Triangle region and focus on the use of CommunityViz, an interactive software platform that integrates land use mapping and statistical analysis used by the Town during the development of the 2020 Comprehensive Plan. The presentation will be followed by a question and answer session.

Garrett develops analysis, Geographic Information System (GIS), and graphic design projects to aid the Town's planning initiatives. He also provides professional support to other Town departments and partner agencies.

Comments

I just can't understand why the Town continues to schedule these informational meetings in the middle of the work day. It's almost like they want to say they had the event, but don't really care if anyone actually came.
