"This book discusses how GIS enhances our understanding of complex housing issues in the United States. It provides an overview of US housing issues and examples of how to effectively integrate spatial thinking to address housing policy questions, while simultaneously introducing housing policy analysts to advanced GIS concepts and techniques to create livable neighborhoods that include housing alternatives beyond the single family. Through numerous examples, the authors advocate for a collaborative approach that encourages professionals, policymakers, and analysts, across different ideological and political perspectives, to confront the multifaceted housing crisis"--

GIS and Housing: Principles and Practices discusses how Geographic Information Science can enhance our understanding of complex housing issues in the United States and explains housing data analysis and the technical aspects of GIS management and functionality. It provides GIS technicians and analysts with an overview of US housing issues and examples of how to effectively integrate spatial thinking to address housing policy questions, while simultaneously introducing housing policy analysts to advanced GIS concepts and techniques to create livable neighborhoods that include housing alternatives beyond the single family. Through numerous examples, the authors advocate for a collaborative approach that encourages professionals, policymakers, and analysts, across different ideological and political perspectives, to confront the multifaceted housing crisis, and how to effectively integrate spatial thinking to address housing policy questions.

Features:

  • Examines the historical aspects of housing provision, societal attitudes, demographic shifts, and government policies.
  • Bridges the gaps between housing professionals and GIS experts, facilitating an interdisciplinary approach to address the housing crisis.
  • Explores different challenges that are facing urban, suburban, and rural neighborhoods in different US regions.
  • Provides professionals with the necessary tools for informed decision-making.
  • Proposes solutions that leverage the integrative capacity of GIS to address established housing issues.
  • Advocates for denser housing alternatives to address issues of affordability, supply shortages, and homelessness.

This book is intended for graduate students and professionals in housing, community development, urban planning, GIS, and more.

Recenzijos

Silos keep advocates, philanthropy, and government from pursuing housing and development policies that meet the needs of historically disadvantaged communities in Black and Latinx neighborhoods. GIS for Housing offers advocates and policy makers a spatial analysis framework to guide the development of a just and equitable city for all.

In development, all markets are local. Other words, know and understand the location before undertaking development. If you dont understand location, money will be lost. Location is geographic. The authors of GIS and Housing explain the importance of geographic data related to location. Geographic data is not only physical, (what physically is at that location and surrounding areas) but cultural (whos there; explaining population and its attributes). Developers need that information.

This book explores both the evolution and current state of housing issues, such as availability and affordability and offers important guidance on why an understanding of spatial relationships is vital when developing strategies for mitigating these concerns. The authors explore the capabilities of geographic information systems (GIS) concepts, tools, and methods and how they can be leveraged to manage, analyze, visualize, and communicate actionable knowledge that supports decision making and policies related to housing. This book is a valuable resource for housing researchers, analysts, and policymakers.

The authors supply a critical missing angle in Americas fractious national and local debates about housing: visual data. Through detailed graphs and charts interspersed with historical photos and maps, they elegantly capture historic changes in how we live, where we live, who we live with, in how much space, and how much it costs -- and also explain how we may use this information to decide how to live in the future.

GIS and Housing is a highly-readable, solutions-oriented book that uses a geo-spatial lens to grapple with the connections between US housing crises and broader socio-economic trends. Further, it encourages the use of GIS as a tool for housing data analysis and meaningful community engagement in policy development and implementation
