#BUcity Co-Lab Week: Introduction to PolicyMap

Join Boston University City Planning and Urban Affairs for Introduction to PolicyMap, the seventh event in the #BUcity Co-Lab Week. An idea in 2007 to make geographic data easily accessible and understandable to policy makers grew into what is now PolicyMap: a data warehouse of over 50,000 indicators accessible through a state-of-the-art mapping and analytics platform. From the beginning, the developers at PolicyMap knew that policy makers needed good data to make smart decisions. And that interpreting geographic data on maps was crucial to finding solutions to our most intractable issues. Developers created an intuitive web-based tool for policymakers, business leaders, and researchers to quickly visualize and understand communities across the U.S., and they made sure that no technical skills were required. Presented by Betsy Minnich, Business Development, PolicyMap. Zoom link will be emailed after registrants RSVP.
