Harnessing the power of regular collection of imagery and Lidar, the City of Calgary provides valuable information for municipal service delivery. The City publicly shares various datasets in different formats, including Orthophotos, Lidar, and 3D buildings, oh-my! Beginning in 1990, the Aerial Imagery Program supported planning, development, and operations.

Regularly collecting spatial data allows for more accurate assessments of changes over time. Annual Orthophoto collection aids in confirming changes, while regularly collected Lidar provides accurate Digital Elevation Models (DEM) and 3D building information for analysis, planning, and modelling.

We invite you to join us as we discuss how a centralized approach to imagery and Lidar collection can empower users to solve their challenges.
