Super neat tool developed in part by Re:Public's very own Michelle Blom for the QWBIA in Toronto. Check it out! (insert Dashboard Confessional reference here:___________)

Over the last few months, Tate Economic Research Inc. and Re:Public Urbanism have been working together to develop a dashboard for the Queen Street West Business Improvement Area (QWBIA) in Downtown Toronto. We’re proud to announce that the dashboard is live this month, and we’re excited to share!   GIS dashboards often combine maps, charts, and other visuals to represent a wide catalogue of data in a clear and interactive way. Depending on the focus of the dashboard, these tools can be used to simply share up-to-date information on a topic or area, or be directly used in decision-making processes.   For Queen Street West, the team created a custom dashboard to assist with the implementation of the BIA’s Retail Strategy, prepared by Tate Economic Research Inc. The dashboard will support data monitoring and informed decision-making amidst an evolving retail landscape and construction of the Ontario Line in the BIA.   Check out the dashboard here: https://lnkd.in/e49mN2se   Please contact Sameer Patel (spatel@tateresearch.com) or Michelle Blom (blom@republicurbanism.com) to see what we can do for your BIA or Municipality!     Ontario BIA Association #GIS #EconomicDevelopment #DigitalTwins #QueenStreetWestBIA #Dashboards #Esri #BIA

Geographical indications are more than just location markers; they are a form of intellectual property that identifies a product as originating from a specific geographical area. 🌐 Business Importance of Geographical Indications: 1️⃣ Preserving Authenticity: Geographical indications are guardians of authenticity. They ensure that products possess the unique characteristics and qualities inherent to their geographic origin. This authenticity not only preserves cultural heritage but also builds consumer trust. 2️⃣ Market Differentiation: In a global marketplace flooded with options, GIs provide a unique selling proposition. Products with geographical indications stand out, offering a story of origin, craftsmanship, and a guarantee of specific qualities that set them apart from generic alternatives. 3️⃣ Economic Development: Geographical indications are often linked to specific regions with unique resources and expertise. Their protection stimulates economic development by promoting local industries, fostering job creation, and encouraging sustainable practices. 4️⃣ Cultural Heritage: Beyond commerce, GIs contribute to the preservation of cultural heritage. They celebrate and protect traditional methods of production, craftsmanship, and culinary traditions, enriching the cultural tapestry of communities. 5️⃣ Legal Protection and Market Access: GIs provide legal safeguards against unauthorized use and imitation. Additionally, they can facilitate market access by signalling adherence to specific quality standards, making it easier for products to gain acceptance in international markets.

National headlines may grab attention, but when it comes to understanding the real estate market in your area, nothing beats local expertise. Here's why: 1. **Local Factors Matter**: While national trends provide a broad overview, they often overlook the unique factors that influence local real estate markets. From employment opportunities to school districts to infrastructure projects, local dynamics play a significant role in property values and market conditions. 2. **Hyperlocal Knowledge**: Local real estate professionals have their finger on the pulse of the community. They know about upcoming developments, zoning regulations, and neighborhood quirks that can impact buying and selling decisions. Their hyperlocal knowledge allows them to provide accurate insights that national headlines simply can't match. 3. **Market Variability**: Real estate markets vary widely from one city to the next, and even within the same city, different neighborhoods may experience different trends. What's happening nationally may not accurately reflect what's happening in your backyard. Local experts can provide context and nuance that national headlines often lack. 4. **Personalized Guidance**: National headlines can be overwhelming and may not address your specific needs or concerns. Local real estate professionals offer personalized guidance tailored to your situation. Whether you're buying, selling, or investing, they can provide advice that's relevant to your goals and circumstances. 5. **Timing is Everything**: Real estate is inherently local, and timing can be crucial. Local professionals understand the seasonality of the market, as well as any local events or factors that may impact buying or selling activity. Their insights can help you make well-informed decisions at the right time. When it comes to navigating the real estate market, trust the experts who know your community inside and out. Local real estate professionals provide invaluable guidance that goes beyond the headlines, ensuring a smooth and successful transaction. #LocalExpertise #RealEstateInsights #CommunityConnection
