Special Topics Project 2 Report: Urban Landscaping

This week concludes the second project for the University of West Florida On-Line GIS Certification course, Special Topics in GIS (GIS 4930) which focused on urban landscaping design concepts.

The first task for report week required summing up and extending the project goals for the previous two weeks in trying to show quantitative reasons for Marin City, California to continue to provide 25% matching funds to a the Marin City Tree Program in order for it to continue to receive federal grants for tree planting and maintenance under the Small Business Stewardship Assistance Act of 2010. I have presented this data via a report which is meant to be presented to the Marin City Manager which can be accessed via this link:

The second task focused on a request to determine how many trees need to be planted to offset half the energy use of a proposed project to build the Marin City Center, a multi-use community building in the northwest part of the city. I have also chosen to present the data in the form of a report that can be accessed by this link:
