Producing the Urban Atlas for the Phoenix Metropolitan Area Author: Donald Worley 302 North 1st Avenue Phone: 602-254-6300 As the regional planning agency for the Phoenix metropolitan area, the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) represents one of the most rapidly growing areas in the country. MAG is frequently asked for data and maps to show physical features, the built environment, demographics, employment, government activities, and urban services. The Urban Atlas brings together a wide range of information used in regional planning and of potential interest to the general public. This presentation will focus on the methods used and lessons learned in assembling and disseminating the information gathered. |
