Product Description
Both a textbook for GIS classes in urban planning and a workbook for local governments, this book shows how to do real tasks that are required when a city decides to go digital and use geographic information systems (GIS) to store and access information. With this book, planners, analysts, and other local government staff use data from a real city to perform tasks such as creating buildings and parcels, setting coordinate systems, and building geodatabase topology. After creating a geodatabase, working with attribute data, and geocoding data, planners will be able to perform spatial analysis to find possible drug houses near playgrounds, find buildable vacant lots, produce land use reports, and more.

This book has been very helpful. It was chosen as an assigned text to compliment several of the assignments in my applications class. It has proven to be very useful.

Good Book but Buyer Beware, 2006-09-05
When purchasing this book I was not informed that the required program to run the exercises found in the book is ArcInfo 9.0. Understand that ArcInfo encompasses all of the core ArcGIS functions. I bought this book having the ArcView version of ArcGIS and was unable to complete about 70% of the book. I looked in to upgrading to ArcInfo and found that the price to upgrade is approx $6000. So if you want this book you really must have the ArcInfo version of ArcGIS or you will not be able to follow through with the book.
