General Planning Publications
Produced
by The Region of Peel Planning Department in celebration of the first
25 years of regional planning.
The Regional Planning Atlas project has two principal objectives. The first
is to provide information in map, graphic, and textual
form to give the reader a geographic perspective on Peel
Region and the changes that have occurred over a quarter
of a century of Regional history, since the Region was
formed in 1974. The second Objective is to provide interesting
examples of the potential uses of the spatial data, mapping
and Geographic Information System (GIS) tools of the Planning
Department.
The Atlas is to serve as an education tool for the students of Peel
and provides local geographic information about Peel Region that complements
the physical and human geography themes studies by Grade 7 and 8 students.
The Atlas has been organized around two major themes:
- The natural environment and resources
- Human settlement within a general theme of natural and administrative
regions.
