First All-Digital Zoning Agency

DC Office of Zoning — first in the nation to go all-digital

Plan your smart city →

A smart city runs on data its residents never see — zoning cases, street inventories, response-time models. NLT builds that layer: the geospatial foundations, the civic applications on top of them, and the models that turn both into decisions, from the nation's first all-digital zoning agency to fire-station siting in Flagstaff.
