Featured case
Curbcut Cities · Municipal government

How the City of Laval used Curbcut

The City of Laval launched a public, open-access platform (Curbcut Laval) where residents and staff can explore the city's social environment: active-living potential, walkable access to services like childcare, and other neighbourhood indicators. No GIS expertise required.

Built with the PRDS (Politique régionale de développement social lavallois), it turns scattered municipal and federal data into one shared, explorable view of the city.

Platform: Curbcut Cities  ·  Sector: Municipal government  ·  Place: Laval, QC
