Columbia GSAPP Lecture and Event Series

The Dean’s lecture and event series invites guests from across the world to deliver talks and participate in discussions with the GSAPP community. Below is a selection of events featuring M.S.CDP faculty members.

Health and the City

Center for Spatial Research (CSR) and collaborators from the Yale School of Public Health present an interactive map project that guides policymakers and the public in deploying health care workers to communities most affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Their discussion is followed by presentations by graduate researchers at the CSR who investigated patterns in the distribution of COVID-19 while critically questioning the role of mapping and data visualization in understanding the pandemic.
