The world we live in is increasingly challenged. Changes in population, over-consumption, sustainability—these are some of the things we can begin to understand with GIS and data.

With the 2020 Census, many more countries, including the United States, are using GIS to bring together maps with rich data sources combined with powerful analytic tools to bring better understanding.
