City of Burlington Manages Growth With Activity-Based Costing

Overview Located west of Toronto, the city of Burlington is a growing municipality with a long-term vision to manage growth and development in a way that maintains a strong network of residential neighborhoods, a diverse economic base, a sound infrastructure, a fiscally stable metropolis and an environmentally sensitive community. Land development plays a significant role in the operation of a municipality. It's very important for the future of the community and the strategic outlook of the city. But the process of development - from rezoning to planning and permitting - can take years, and tracking resource costs throughout each stage is a challenge. With Activity-Based Management (ABM), however, city planners can understand and recover costs through every step of the process.
