WESTERN PA
DATA CENTER AND
ALLEGHENY LAND
TRUST COLLABORATE
TO BUILD REGIONAL
TOOL
Allegheny Land Trust and the Western
Pennsylvania Regional Data Center have
just launched Urban Greenprint, an
interactive online regional mapping tool
that will guide urban greening priorities.
Urban Greenprint features a number of
land use data sets from public-sector, non-
profit and private organizations, and makes
them available for public use at
tools.wprdc.org/urban-greenprint.
“The tool is an intersectional analysis of
the status of all Pittsburgh-area land parcels
that is equally accessible to all organizations
and individuals,” ALT Community
Conservation Director Alyson Fearon
explained. “It offers opportunities for
public engagement and self-education that
we hope empowers residents working on
land use challenges to take action in
protecting their community green spaces.”
Users of Urban Greenprint can view
environmental data on a map and interact
with regularly updated information about
properties in Allegheny County. It is
powered by the regional data sharing
infrastructure provided by the WPRDC. In
