The<\/strong> Smart Growth for Dallas Decision Support Tool<\/b><\/a> is an interactive geo-mapping platform that draws upon hundreds of GIS-based datasets to target nature-based investments that can best serve the communities in the City of Dallas. Pairing community-articulated priorities with health, social, and environmental data, the Decision Support Tool was made available to the public in 2018. Since then, it has been used by countless partners to help make data-informed investments, including the acquisition of 42 acres of new parkland for the City of Dallas.<\/strong><\/p>\n
