Description

Powerful new technologies make it possible for cities, counties, and even regions to integrate their administrative databases and make parcel-level information available to the public via the Internet, opening up new possibilities for community development. With this extensive information infrastructure in place, community development practitioners now have greater access to the detailed property data that are vital for analyzing and monitoring changes in neighborhood real estate markets.


This book explains how to use these data, with the stories of pioneering organizations and partnerships that are turning robust, integrated parcel data systems into powerful tools for guiding community change. Case studies of five cities and regions—Chicago, Cleveland, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C.—detail some of the nation's most promising applications of property-level information.
