Abstract

In the context of continuous urban growth through out the world,this paper exam in essome Geographical lnjormationSystem (GIS) applications in urban planning and management. Operational benefits are described (e.g., site and maps searches). GIS in site analyses [i.e., control proc esses) and site evaluation and selection are discussed. GIS in urban planning strategies is considered as well, regarding overla y and socio-economic analysis advantages, At the same lime GIS restrictions in terms of [inancialconstraintsarementioned.Thedevelopment ofMultipurposeGeographicallnformationSystems(MPGIS) isproposed a way to save costs. A second restriction regards to the weak capabillty of current commercial GIS /0 simula/e different urban scenarios, Two GIS models of urban growth are descr ibed (Waterloo Generic Urban Model and Regional Growth Forecast} .
