ArcGIS Pro for Municipal GIS

Building and Managing Municipal GIS Using ArcGIS Pro

Technology Stack: ArcGIS Pro + ArcGIS ecosystem + Municipal GIS datasets

1. Course Introduction

Municipal organizations manage large volumes of spatial information related to properties, roads, utilities, infrastructure, land use, administrative boundaries and public services.

This training provides a practical introduction to using ArcGIS Pro for municipal GIS, covering municipal data preparation, spatial databases, map production, spatial analysis, asset mapping, data management and GIS-based municipal decision support.

Participants will build a municipal GIS project using representative municipal datasets.
