Partner with urbanoutlook.city

urbanoutlook.city bridges the gap between city planners and real estate developers. By sharing your city's incentive zones (such as TIF districts, QCTs, and city-owned land), you can effectively solicit targeted development and showcase opportunities to a broader audience.

How to Share Data

Once approved, you will receive an Access Key that lets you manage your data via our Map Editor. There are two distinct sections to managing your data:

1. Sync Data (Pulling Data)

Before making new changes, use this section to get on the same page as the active database or configure background integrations.

Load My Data: Fetch your currently stored datasets from urbanoutlook.city onto the map to review or modify them.
ArcGIS Sync (Coming Soon): Paste your ArcGIS REST Service URL to have our system periodically auto-sync your active map layers in the background!

2. Map Editor (Editing & Pushing Data)

Use this section to actually alter the data on the map. Always choose an Active Data Layer first so the system knows what schema to map to!

Draw: Draw shapes manually on the map and configure their properties by clicking on them.
Drag & Drop: Instantly drag and drop GeoJSON files or Zipped Shapefiles onto the map. They parse securely in your browser so you can visually verify them.
Upload & Sync: When your map reflects the desired state, click this to review your changes and permanently save them to the database.

Note on Large Datasets: If you drop a shapefile containing hundreds of features, visually rendering them can significantly lock up your browser's map editor. urbanoutlook.city automatically detects heavy files and provides a Direct Upload bypass—allowing you to safely push massive datasets immediately to your active database without any rendering lag.
