The following system requirements are needed to use the GCR Viewer:

Background

The GCRO GIS website was developed as an interactive tool to assist both local and provincial governments, to better understand the Gauteng City-Region and make informed decisions about development in the GCR. The application allows the user to visualize GCR base data and themed layers, by offering different perspectives of the GCR, such as population distribution, economic datasets and the latest 2009 Quality of life survey results as maps and graphs.
 
The main users of the application are considered to be the GCRO stakeholders – Gauteng Provincial Government (GPG) Planning commission, GPG Office of the Premier, Local government officials and other GCR government agencies. The site was also made publically accessible through the GCRO website, providing open access to the Gauteng City-Region GIS data.
