Urban Planning Data Science
Data science expertise applied to land use planning, zoning analysis, environmental protection, and regional growth management.
Urban planners and regional agencies generate large volumes of geospatial, demographic, and environmental data — but extracting actionable insight from that data requires specialized tools. Harospec Data works with planning departments, transportation agencies, and environmental consultants to build custom data tools that surface the right information at the right time.
We have delivered projects in the Lake Tahoe region (California/Nevada), Spokane, Washington, and statewide Oregon — working with GIS datasets, census and demographic data, parcel records, and environmental monitoring layers.
What We Deliver
- ✓Interactive GIS dashboards for land use and zoning analysis
- ✓Census and demographics data integration (ACS, TIGER/Line shapefiles)
- ✓Parcel-level spatial analysis and environmental impact mapping
- ✓Regional data portals built on ArcGIS Hub or custom web stacks
- ✓Decision support tools for infrastructure and growth planning
- ✓Python-based geospatial data pipelines (geopandas, ArcGIS API)
- ✓R Shiny interactive planning applications
- ✓Automated reporting for planning commissions and public stakeholders
