Assessment of Household Income in the City of Toronto, by Census Tract

ABSTRACT

The following two (2) maps illustrate a statistical analysis of household income within the City of

Toronto (Census Division), divided into Census Tracts. The objective of these maps is to visually

corroborate the relationship between socio-economic variables such as household income levels and

the prevalence of such crimes as shoplifting, as well as to accurately depict overall income distribution

within the region. Additionally, the significant affect that statistical classification can have on visual

output is illustrated through multiple inset maps on the same page.

Several key components of GIS spatial analysis were utilized in the creation of these maps:

Spatially joining separate layers to consolidate attribute tables, points/lines/polygons to develop for advanced research and analysis.

Applying layer-on-layer thematic analysis to determine how many convicted shoplifters fall within a Census Tract. The same technique can easily be used to determine housing shortages, gaps in service provision, route calculations, Industrial sites to nearest residential area, etc.

The ability to consolidate and contrast data from within a common geographic boundary is an

immensely important skill for gaining an intimate understanding of the urban fabric, and identifying

opportunities to develop and improve where and how it is needed most.

Thematic Mapping based on Census Variables used by the Region of Peel

ABSTRACT

These three (3) maps may seem to have a general focus with respect to urban demographics,

but what makes them interesting is the resourcefulness and creativity used in making them. I originally

began with a shapefile containing the entire Toronto CMA with an attribute table containing a large

amount of extraneous data. By identifying and isolating the relevant Census Tracts comprising

Mississauga, Brampton and Caledon, I was able to create a new shapefile comprised only the Region of

Peel. At this point it was just a simple matter of inserting the relevant variables for my choropleth maps.

Several key components of GIS database management were utilized in the creation of these maps:

Consolidating multiple fields (columns) in the attribute table in order to create meaningful groupings of data (cut-offs).

Applying field calulations to columns in the attribute table in order to normalize data and provide meaningful statistical analysis.

Create a new and streamlined shapefile by utilizing data contained in a larger, more comprehensive database.

Finding the best way to apply the information and resources available is a cornerstone GIS use

and overall researching skills. Oftentimes the answer to a problem is in front of you, ready to be

uncovered through logical thinking and creative use of GIS software.

Creating Effective Thematic Maps for Different Users

ABSTRACT

These four (4) maps represent a selection of housing related variables from four Ontario urban

communities: Oshawa-Whitby, St. Catherines, Kitchener-Waterloo-Cambridge, and Barrie. The value of

creating these maps was the flexibility and freedom I had in the process. While the geographic areas

were pre-selected, I was left to select the most appropriate housing variables and how to best visualize

them. One of the primary criteria was that each map required a rationale as to who could use the

information provided and to what end? For instance, the map of Kitchener-Waterloo-Cambridge uses

dot distribution to illustrate the patterns of various dwelling typologies in the region. This information

could be potentially useful for a developer trying to determine which housing typologies are under or

over-represented, and where this is occurring. The map of Barrie illustrates the census tracts containing

the homes in most need of repair. This information could be potentially useful to a proprietor of a home

renovation or construction business. It would be advantageous to have access to such information, as it

might help direct attention toward advertising in these areas. The map of Oshawa-Whitby illustrates the

value ($) of a dwelling, by census tract. This would be useful to both individuals and developers looking

to invest in property in Oshawa or Whitby.

The core skills illustrated through these maps:

An understanding of the relationship between statistical data and the relevant cartographic

design principles/symbology.

Creating a database in ArcMap from the tabular data contained within MS Excel file provided

from a separate source (i.e. Statistics Canada).

Adjusting the map layout to best accommodate the shape and scale of the geography and

maximize the potential of the space provided.

Innovative use of mapping to represent an array of variables, intended for different user-bases.

Being mindful of the intended user of a map is essential. It will serve to inform you during the

research and map creation process, and ultimately dictate the chosen design elements used to display

the variables. It is also important to have a firm understanding of your options with respect to

colouration, symbology and scale, as doing so will increase clarity and communication.

Bell Canada International Calling Rates, 2014 (in $)

ABSTRACT

These two (2) maps take on a more global context and illustrate a comparatively unique dataset.

The value of creating these maps was in how it helped develop resourcefulness with my data

acquisition/implementation abilities. Unlike the demographic data readily provided by Statistics Canada,

the data required for these maps was unprocessed and required considerable manipulation. In essence

the raw data (international calling rates) was copied from the website of Bell Canada into a blank Excel

file, after which point began the arduous task of manually transferring this data into ArcGIS to

correspond with the respective countries. While this seemed tedious, the experience taught me how to

process my own datasets from sources that aren’t immediately usable. This has expanded my research

horizons on subject matter far beyond what Statistics Canada offers. Certain forms of advanced spatial

analysis were also applied, such as radial distance rings, designed to perform a count of total population

within 1000km, 3000km and 5000km of Toronto respectively. This same technique can be used to

analyze a number of other variables including counts of: dwelling typologies, public parks, schools,

churches, businesses, fire halls, etc.

The core skills illustrated through these maps:

The ability to overcome dependency on secondary data sources by identifying and incorporating

useful data from unique and unprocessed sources.

Utilizing appropriate projection based on the global scale of the map.

The ability to perform advanced spatial analysis by utilizing mapping features such as radial

distance measurements.

The sheer volume of secondary data provided through such sources as Statistics Canada, Canada

Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), Canada Council for Social Development (CCSD) and open

source data such as Peel Data Center provides a stable foundation for most urban research and analysis.

Every so often however, the need to go beyond these sources and collect primary data is necessary. I am

able to do efficiently do so through personal creativity and innovative use of software.

Network Analysis – Assessing Site Suitability and Coverage Areas

ABSTRACT

These two (2) entries are examples of utilizing geoprocessing functions and network analysis

(of roadways), to determine site suitability. Through network analysis, I was able to assess pre-existing

coverage for the City of Mississauga fire emergency services, as well as identify gaps in service

provision. From this point, I was able to merge the underserviced areas with a property data map,

providing me with a selection of candidate properties on which to build a new fire station. After

further narrowing the selection down through database management and SQL queries, I was provided

with a list of potential properties (16) that would satisfy the necessary land use and size requirements.

Through further network analysis of these properties, I was able to determine which one satisfied the

greatest market share (i.e. greatest number of other properties) and consequently which property

yielded the greatest benefit for constructing one (1) new fire facility. Map # 1 is an illustration of the

coverage area provided by the pre-existing fire stations. The blue squares represent the candidate

sites for a new station, and the gold star represents the site with the greatest potential benefit. Map

#2 is designed to supplement the first map, and provide enhanced locational context for candidate

site. While these techniques have been adapted and applied within the context of municipal planning,

they could equally be used to quickly determine a sites development potential with respect to: land

use designation, local commerce, distance to urban centers, environmental restrictions and

accessibility.

Some of the core abilities used in creating these drawings:

The ability to combine geoprocessing functions with network analysis, to identify gaps in

service provision and conduct site suitability analyis.

Creative application of a number of cartographic and database assets such as: road networks,

property data maps, land use maps, and facility locations.

Quickly and accurately assessing site suitability is an essential skill in planning and development.

The intended purpose will change depending on context, but the foundational principles and

geoprocessing functions remain consistent. I am confident that my understanding of GIS and site

suitability analysis is strong enough to be adapted to the needs of the client, and provide critical insight

in a timely manner.

AutoCAD - Single-Detached Two Storey Building Floor Plan

ABSTRACT

These two (2) entries are examples of my ability to use AutoCAD for the creation of 2D floor

plans, based on a pre-existing non-digitized (paper-based) design. Although 2D plan view drawings are

simplistic compared to 3D renderings, they are of enormous importance in the Planning and

Development fields. These two drawings represent the ground level and second level respectively, and

illustrate a number of vital CAD skills. The use of layer management, boundaries and objects, clean

and accurate dimensional lines and annotations, effective use of line colour, and accurate residential

building code requirements are some of the skills that have converged in these drawings. These

drawings began with an empty workspace and were constructed in such a way as to allow quick and

easy editing to be conducted if later required: altering dimensions, changing the system of

measurement, changing colouration of lines and annotations, etc. The same skills can be easily applied

in the creation and/or analysis of a site plan, and tie in very effectively with the capabilities of GIS

software.

Some of the core abilities used in creating these drawings:

Creating and managing a system of layers built around the relevant constructional elements:

Walls, windows, plumbing, appliances, dimension lines, annotations, doors and sweeps,

stairs, appliances, etc. This allows for 3D extrusion to be easily applied if needed.

Clean and effective placement of dimensional lines and annotations.

Construction elements adhere to building code requirement: exterior walls and wet-walls are 6”, interior walls are 4”, doorframes are 36”, etc.

Accurate scaling when plotted to paper.

Complicated 3D renderings may belong in the realm of a CAD technician; however the ability to

comfortably and efficiently use CAD software for the creation and editing of plan-perspective 2D

drawings is in asset in any facet of the Planning field. A functional understanding of CAD software will

place less dependence on other departments for the completion of common tasks, and therefore makes

for a more versatile team member.

CAD to Sketchup Interoperability - Floor Plan Extrusion ABSTRACT

Utilizing CAD for the initial creation of the building footprint and floor plan is an essential step.

Creating a detailed digital file that accurately portrays physical dimensions and angles is addressed

properly by the strengths of CAD software. Once this is achieved however, the high-level precision of

CAD may not always be the best choice for 3D extrusion and Building Information Modelling (BIM). This

is why it an invaluable skill to understand the software interoperability. Rather than operating each

branch of software in a vacuum (BIM, CAD, GIS), using them to support one another greatly improves

the quality and efficiency of graphical output. These seven (7) Sketchup renderings are all based off of

the same CAD source data (created by myself). The extrusions employ to great effect such principles as:

layer management, component creation and groupings, Ruby Scripts and Sketchup plugins, and the

proper use of Trimble Layout to quickly create an attractive display of the renderings (for client

submissions or portfolios). Furthermore, as the 3D house model is saved as a component itself, it can

easily be shared amongst a team of professionals for further applications, such as architectural

rendering and placement into Google Earth.

Some of the core abilities used in the creation of these renders:

The proper methods of importing and preparing an AutoCAD dwg file into Sketchup for

extrusion and 3D modelling.

Effective use of the Sketchup toolset supplied, including the installation and application of Ruby Scripts and plugins to streamline my workflow and produce a superior product.

Properly organizing Sketchup geometry to create components for future use, and sharing with other people.

Utilizing supporting software like Trimble Layout to quickly create a consistent and attractive display of my conceptualizations and 3D models.

The ability to synergize different branches of software is perhaps more important now than

ever before. There potential benefit from having a solid grasp of software interoperability cannot be

understated. Efficiency, quality and capabilities will increase exponentially through understanding how

software platforms like GIS, BIM, CAD and Cloud Networking solutions can support one another.

Career Objective: To utilize my experience and education in a challenging environment and contribute to lasting,

positive urban development.

Education: B.A., Urban and Regional Planning 2010

Ryerson University, Toronto, Ontario Cert., Applied Digital Geography and GIS September 2014 – Ongoing Ryerson University, Toronto, Ontario

Projects and Accomplishments:

Uptown Subdivision, Mississauga

I focused heavily on Phase 2 – Marquee Townhomes (100 townhomes) and Phase 3 – Amber Towers (446 units), accomplishing many development milestones: acquiring conditional building permits in a very short timeframe, allowing us to pay development charges prior to their indexing (saving approximately $2.3 million), the reduction or complete refund of nearly a dozen letters of credit/municipal security deposits covering a wide range of conditions (totaling several million dollars), obtaining site plan approval for Phase 3 and ensuring that all other approval applications remained in motion despite several significant design changes and setbacks (Revision Permits and Minor Variances).

Grand Park Subdivision, Mississauga

Grand Park Phase 2 is a 48 storey tower (approximately 470 units). As bulk excavation was underway when I started (Foundational Permit), I had approximately 3 months to ensure acquisition of our above-grade structural permit (prior to construction reaching grade). This ensured there were no delays in construction, as the necessary approvals were in ready and in place. I also gained experience regarding the process of connecting private access roads to existing municipal infrastructure: Servicing requirements (duct banks and lighting specifications), costs/materials, and relevant consultants/contractors for design and installation.

Adelaide Towers, Toronto

Adelaide Phase 2 is a 48 storey tower (approximately 345 units) – I initiated the PUCC application and worked through several design conflicts to receive all required clearances. I also conducted review and analysis of a reciprocal crane swing agreement with the neighbouring owner, to determine if the provisions were adequate and fair. Other experiences included sourcing/pricing the provision and installation of over 200 vertical bike racks for the parkade levels, coordinating the release of a $1.2 million landscaping security, and clearing many ASR items for both site plan and building permit approvals. Overall, the Adelaide Development provided valuable experience, as it has made me comfortable with the land development process in Toronto, including consideration of local planning initiatives (particularly John Street Revitalization).

Additional Projects and Accomplishments:

(January 2009 - April 2009)

Stand Up Bridletowne Residents Association- Toronto, ON

Worked alongside Stand Up Bridletowne Residents Association, developers and city councilors to create an alternative development application for Bridlewood Mall. Our work integrated the concerns of local citizens, the priorities of the developer, and sound planning principles. My responsibilities included researching existing zoning and land uses, identifying opportunities and constraints, researching benefits and implementation strategies for grey-water systems and district energy, helping to organize public meetings and design charrettes, drafting and editing interim reports, etc. The project was published in both the Scarborough Mirror and the Ryerson University newspaper.

(September 2009 - December 2009)

Camp 30 Cultural Heritage Preservation- Municipality of Clarington, Ontario

Retained by the Municipality of Clarington to prepare a cultural and heritage preservation plan for Camp 30 (former POW camp) in Bowmanville. The plan successfully integrated residential, commercial and institutional uses while still preserving and rehabilitating the cultural and historical significance of many key historic buildings. My responsibilities included becoming well versed in cultural and heritage preservation policies at every level of government, identifying subsidies, grants and other alternative funding sources to aid in implementation, drafting and editing reports and presentations, etc. The project resulted in the successful mediation between the developer (Kaitlin Group) and the municipality, whereby a mutually agreeable plan was created, which was congruent with the established guiding principles and project mandate. The results of the project were published in both the Globe and Mail and the Toronto Star. Our group received the Ted Tyndorf Award for "demonstrating integrity, outstanding vision and commitment to community planning through client-based project work and engagement with agencies and firms".
