Frequently Asked Questions

What is GIS and what is its role in Urban Planning?

A Geographic Information System (GIS) is a computer system that analyzes and displays geographically referenced information. It uses data that is attached to a unique spatial location that allows the decision makers to analyze and assess real-world problems.

In Urban Planning, GIS plays an integral role in how cities are shaped. One of the reasons why GIS is important in urban planning is the ability to better understand current needs for a city, and then design to fulfill those needs. With increased Urbanization, the importance of GIS lies in its ability to pull together the vast amounts of information necessary to balance competing priorities and solve complicated problems. Since its inception more than 30 years ago, GIS technology has truly empowered Urban Planners with enhanced visibility into the geospatial data.

What parts of local government use GIS and explain its benefits.

The scale of the planning area covered can range from a whole city to a sub-region of a city, a district, or a street block and GIS holds the key to better decision-making; just about everything from a community, business, or to what public agency does in day-to-day operations or long-term planning. All aspects of any City Administration is driven through GIS technology. Local Government uses GIS in Zoning, Land Use Planning, Utility Tracking, Building Inspection, Building Permit, Citizen Engagement, Emergency Management, Parcel Management and even providing better customer service by having access to precise and up to date access to data.

The Elevator Analogy
Imagine a tall skyscraper with multiple layers of floors. The elevator acts as a GIS technology that not only integrates various aspect of City Government (floors) but also keep them connected at all times. GIS has proved to be the backbone in helping local government through decision making.

Why ViewPro and how are ViewPro’s GIS solutions different from the competitors?

We at ViewPro are City Planners first and we are passionate about solving Planning challenges through the right use of GIS technology. Being in the industry for close to 20 years, we understand and recognize the day to day challenges of local governments regardless of its size.

Overarching GIS technology can perform many technical steps but they are generally geared to solve problems that speak to many industries-not specific to City Planning. Cities and Local Government need GIS solutions that are built just for them. ViewPro recognizes this gap and has built the last mile solutions that makes the use of GIS technology as part of Planners daily workflow.

ViewPro’s GIS solutions are simple to use and require little or no technical expertise. We at ViewPro keep it simple.

Why does ViewPro partner with Esri?

The pioneer and market leader in GIS, Esri has deployed GIS technology in over 350,000 institutions all across the globe. We have seen Esri evolve in the last 20 years into a social responsible organization that truly and deeply cares about creating geospatial technology that solves real-world problems.

In evaluating the right technology partner, we were looking to have a company that put clients first over profit, a company who backs its technology with full support, a company with a grand vision and most importantly who is most likely to survive rather unpredictable economic ups and downs in the future.

After careful evaluation and evaluating multiple competing technology companies in GIS space, we truly recognized Esri as a perfectly suited partner to build sustainable Planning solutions. As Esri's business partner since 2017, ViewPro is now committed to extending and customizing the reach of Esri technology to local governments, cities and municipalities.

Is there a population size threshold for ViewPro solutions to be more effective for implementation?

This is a very good question. We always wondered that from the beginning. Our initial assumption that Tier 1 to Tier 3 cities with (100k to 1M) population is more appropriate for implementation. This assumption was quickly put to test when we saw an increasingly high demand for map based user friendly Zoning tool.

ViewPro’s various GIS solutions have been implemented in cities with as low as 5,000 and as high as 500,000 population in North America. ViewPro’s SAAS platform allows us to produce cost efficient tools and it has been able to meet the expectations for a small town to Tier 1 cities. ViewPro sees no relevance with city’s population size as a limiting factor to implement its solution.

What to expect from ViewPro in 2020-2021?

ViewPro has exciting and bodacious plans for the year 2020. We are re-building the ViewPro’s underlying technology from the ground up so that it can support 3D based analytical solutions. Our widgets are getting far more efficient and fine-tuned for its day to day us.

Esri recently welcomed ArcGIS Urban into its GIS line of products that is inherently designed to keep Urban Planners needs in mind. Our Planners at ViewPro are de-coding Urban technology to provide our Local Government customers user friendly solutions to leverage Scenario Planning solutions. ViewPro is also proud to be part of an exclusive group of Consultants who are certified by Esri to deploy ArcGIS Urban solutions for Local Governments.
