The expansion of geospatial technology, leading to the ability to study almost any phenomenon as an event occurring in a specific context, has been described as the spatial turn. We capitalize on geographic information systems (GIS) and related tools to reach a deeper level of understanding of the choices people make and their relationship with place. We can:
- Map site conditions and industrial/economic activity in relationship to quality of place; when appropriate, supported by statistical analysis of data
Undertake comparative analysis of the quality of building stock and urban infrastructure
Analyze location choice of firms by industry affiliation and other characteristics
Analyze the spatial distribution of potential tenants/customers/investors/donors
Create custom queries and predictive models
