Tracey,
For the city of Toronto, the following are the datasets my clients would
probably need the most, amongst others of course.
- Parcel Attribute Information (year built, assessment value, price
sold, tax assessment information, etc.). All sorts of mapping can be
done with these attributes if you have the necessary parcel geography,
which a city department has kindly provided. Unfortunately a different
city department maintains the attribute information for these parcels
which are crucial to doing any kind of thematic mapping based on these
parcels.
The second item we would love to have are the
- High Resolution Digital Terrain Model and topographic datasets see
http://www.toronto.ca/mapping/3d.htmThese are crucial for high-end three-dimensional modeling. Our
landscape, architecture, and design people would love to get their hands
on these data.
