CUNY Mapping Service
The CUNY Mapping Service at CUR assists organizations in realizing the geographic and mapping dimensions of their activities, in furtherance of the mission of the Graduate Center. The project is directed by Steven Romalewski, who joined the Center for Urban Research in January 2006. [Please download our one-page PDF overview.]
Major activities of the Mapping Service include:
- using spatial information and analysis techniques to develop and execute applied research projects on a grant-funded or fee-for-service basis with government agencies, businesses, and nonprofit organizations;
- using spatial analysis techniques to assist CUNY, government agencies, businesses, and nonprofit organizations to undertake strategic planning;
- furthering the development of the Open Accessible Space Information System (OASIS) partnership;
- consulting with groups in other cities engaged in similarly collaborative web-based projects;
- enhancing the delivery of other interactive online mapping applications;
- providing educational services around geographic information systems (GIS) through workshops, seminars, continuing education programs, and in collaboration with other institutions; and
- participating in computer mapping and data access networks in New York and nationally.
The Mapping Service also helps support CUR's work including the use of spatial analysis techniques to help CUNY’s Central Office advance the mission of the university.
