Keep track of your Cityscape research

Published on Aug. 8, 2017 by Steven Vance


We made a list (which automatically creates a map) of zoning changes for proposed developments that haven’t been approved by City Council yet.

Many people who use Chicago Cityscape are researching. They’re looking up business owners, or figuring out if a building they want to purchase has any violations, or they need to know the zoning and TOD status of a property.

Our new “My Lists” feature is perfect for househunters, real estate brokers, and architects.

It’s also great for making topical maps.

One place for all of your ideas

Collect your research — of neighborhoods, property taxes, building violations, and contractors — into one place.

“My Lists” also works on zoning change records, building permits, and any maps in Maps Explorer.

Start saving your searches

“My Lists” works like an online shopping wishlist.

Give your list a name, set it to public or private, and as you’re browsing different pages on the site, include that page on one or more of your lists.

At any point, you can also download your list as a map or spreadsheet to manipulate in Excel or Google Docs. We’ll automatically put some basic data on your list when you add pages, and you can edit our data or add your own.

What lists will you make?
