Building Footprint 2D 2017 D Miami-Dade County
About This Dataset
This dataset maps the exact outline and height of nearly every building across Miami-Dade County—about 938 square miles worth—created from aerial laser scanning in 2015. It's essential for urban planners, developers, and emergency responders who need to understand our county's built environment, from flood risk modeling to infrastructure planning.
Why This Matters
- A city planner analyzing building density in a neighborhood to propose new transit routes or parks
- A developer checking building footprints and heights before submitting a new construction proposal to ensure compliance with zoning
- An emergency management official using building data to model flood evacuation routes and identify vulnerable areas during hurricane season
