- Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Division
Geographic Information System (GIS) uses computer hardware and software to explore how location impacts people. It can visualize and interpret data to show relationships, patterns, and trends, which helps with better decision-making. Understanding geographic data is essential for citywide analysis, planning, and development.
