Workshop: Who Does Mapping Serve?

As policy makers, planners, and advocates increasingly rely on spatial data and geospatial techniques to advance decision making, key questions surrounding equitable representation, ethical use, and access to needed resources remain a crucial challenge. This workshop brings together members of the Urban Systems Lab, a design and practice at the New School, to share insights into past and ongoing work, and to help contextualize issues related to GIS and urban ecology through a presentation of case studies, breakout sessions and collaborative discussion.
