Track: GIS Management and Implementation
Aventura: GIS Innovations in a Vertical Municipality
Regina L. HaggerOlivia A. Jackson
This article is a case study examining the technological and public administrative aspects of a newly created municipality with a goal of functioning on the "cutting edge" of technology. With the use of advanced technology, such as GIS, the City of Aventura intends to maximize the utilization of resources, thereby creating greater efficiencies via a technologically enhanced yet user-friendly environment. As a model city for other municipalities embarking on the waves of incorporation, the GIS technology serves to integrate the needs of City staff and residents by minimizing and in most cases eliminating inconsistencies and redundancies, which are inherent in many bureaucracies.
