The CUNY Mapping Service at CUR engages with foundations, government agencies, businesses, nonprofits, and other CUNY researchers to use spatial information and analysis techniques to develop and execute applied research projects.
We specialize in the development of online applications that provide intuitive access to powerful data sets, displayed visually through interactive maps and in other formats. Other 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 OASIS NYC 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, conference presentations, 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.
