Geospatial Thinking: Problem-Solving in a Post-Pandemic World
The implications of local to global interconnectedness require more insight and understanding than ever before. From smarter city planning to disaster resiliency and slowing the spread of pandemics like COVID-19, geospatial thinking provides powerful tools and solutions to complex problems. Discover the impact of geospatial problem solving in our series on the possibilities of where.
In our sensor-rich economy and society, location data is deepening our understanding of Earth’s systems and what it will take to live in a more sustainable way with the planet. Through location intelligence, we get insight into where and how to enact change.
Geography-centric problems, including the coronavirus pandemic, climate change, and urban pressures, are best viewed through a geospatial lens. This lens shows the Earth as a system of systems, both natural and human-made, and reveals the complex ways systems overlap and interact.
