A high level look at land use in Greater Victoria - from shopping malls, strips and stroads to light industrial, institutional and marine uses.  

Future layers to be mapped may include population density, residential sprawl, green space, parking lot coverage, yoga studio and flower shops densities (probably not kidding). 

I'm not an expert in land use analysis and mapping so I'd love your thoughts, feedback and potential collaboration as this project evolves. 

Without context it's difficult to know if the region's land use is a good, bad or indifferent thing. So we'll share below comparisons to other cities for perspective and evolve this analysis in the months ahead. You will be surprised to discover how different Victoria is compared to the rest of Canada.  

This map and analysis will be updated on a regular basis.
