Detailed Agenda

Stantec helped take The City and County of Denver from a 234-page PDF Storm Drainage Master Plan (SDMP) to a consolidated ArcGIS Online Hub site containing 2 StoryMaps, custom interactive public outreach graphics, a document repository, and a web experience with 3 embedded map tabs. The client workflow was enhanced by accessible Web Experiences, allowing them to use their expertise of the City to review modeling scenarios and make streamlined, informed decisions. Designed for community members and engineers alike, the SDMP provides easier access to more data than ever before. 

In an increasingly data-driven world, organizations must embrace geospatial technology to improve operational efficiencies, streamline workflows, and enhance customer service. At its core, integrating geospatial data into a city planning department helps answer a key community question: "What’s going on over there?" But beyond just maps, ArcGIS solutions help staff meaningfully document their work, reduce redundancy, and provide real-time information at people's fingertips—empowering both internal teams and the community to bridge knowledge gaps and make more informed decisions.

This presentation focuses on modernizing planning departments through the integration of advanced geospatial tools and AI-driven technologies. Learn how planning departments can leverage the ArcGIS Platform, and cutting-edge tools such as Euclid HL, and Map.Social to enhance data visualization, improve communication, and foster transparency. These tools make complex planning concepts accessible, engaging, inclusive, and provide a platform for consensus and informed decision-making.
