Detailed Land Use and zoning plans: What we do

Thematic Mapping

Thematic mapping focuses on specific themes or subjects rather than showing general geographic information like topography. Thematic maps visually represent data related to topics, such as population density, climate, Socio economic activities, or land use. They are powerful tools for analysis, communication, and decision-making in various fields, including geography, urban planning, environmental studies, education, public health, infrastructure and security.
