Description
This course provides an introduction to the critical use of geographic information systems (GIS) and the use of spatial methods for urban humanities research.
Maps and geographic analysis are key tools for interpreting the built environment and the social conditions it contains. GIS methods allow for the analysis of geographic features together with attributes (environmental, social, demographic, political) of those places. The thoughtful use of spatial data can reveal previously unseen patterns, changing the way we see and engage with our world. However, maps are never just representations, they are nearly always active agents in shaping the worlds they describe. With this in mind, students will be introduced to a range of approaches for creating and manipulating spatial data with a focus on the forms of authorship, design, subjectivity embedded in spatial data and its uses.
This is a "making & doing" workshop course that is open to students from within GSAPP, GSAS and the Columbia and Barnard Colleges and is designed to expand the disciplinary locations in which spatial data analysis takes place. Through hands-on exercises and weekly assignments participants will develop basic fluency with open-source mapping software, QGIS, methods of data collection and creation, and approaches and concepts in critical spatial analysis and map design.
Learning Objectives
After completing the course participants will:
Develop robust familiarity with QGIS and its functions
Gain fluency with foundational GIS concepts (including how the GIS data model abstracts geographic phenomena)
Understand GIS spatial data types and the kinds of analysis that are possible with each
Create new spatial datasets from field observation and participatory sensing
Create new spatial datasets from archival sources
Access and use multispectral satellite imagery
Acquire fluency with visual design concepts central to cartographic representations

Review projects/precedent examples page. Pick out two-three examples each week to review thoroughly on your own.
Optional: Rankin, William. "Introduction Territory and the Mapping Sciences" in After The Map: Cartography, Navigation, and the Transformation of Territory in the Twentieth Century. Chicago: University of Chicago Press. 2016. [available online via CLIO here]
Baics, Gergely, and Leah Meisterlin. “Zoning Before Zoning: Land Use and Density in Mid-Nineteenth-Century New York City.” 2016.
This is an interdisciplinary paper with insights about both the history of land use in New York City and new methods for uncovering such histories with GIS. The link between these two aspects of the paper is really key and helpful, I think, as an illustration of how to develop spatial projects. They discuss three different sets of methods about three different urban land use phenomena. If you need to skim this piece read the introduction/conclusion and then pick at one of the sections on methods to focus on.
Wilson, Mabel. "The Cartography of W.E.B. Du Bois’s Color Line" in W.E.B. Du Bois’s Data Portraits: Visualizing Black America: The Color Line at the Turn of the Twentieth Century. Battle-Baptiste, Whitney, and Britt Rusert, eds. Princeton Architectural Press, 2018. [selections]
This is a short essay on the significance and context of the cartographic work of W.E.B. Du Bois, a scholar and civil rights leader working in the United States in the early-mid 20th century. This essay discusses a historical mapping project, but unlike the other readings/projects for this week, it does not re-draw or further develop GIS methods/data from that historical material. Instead a key point this article brings to our conversations in class is the importance of interrogating historical/archival materials in relation to the context in which they were created.
n.b. Scan includes required short essay by Mabel Wilson as well as optional introduction to the scanned plates and a selection of a few of the maps/data visualizations that were included in the exhibition discussed.

Combine all of your assignments in one PDF. This is also your chance to catch up on assignments that may have stumped you, or refine them now that you have a bit better control of the software.
-Add a title to the top of each page with the assignment number, which tutorial they are following (for assignment 3, 4, and 5) and your two sentence summary.
If you are missing any assignments on courseworks, or have updated the maps, please upload them there as well.
All assignments are grade on completion. That said, they must answer the prompts laid out in each of the assignments, contain relevant elements of the map (like legends), and use the tools dictated by the relevant tutorials.

Due: 3/08, with Mapping Portfolio
What
This is an extra credit assignment. Completing this assignment will add one point to the rubric explained in 'Class Requirements and Grading' on the syllabus.
Complete either tutorial 8, 9, or 10+11 (as a pair) and complete the corresponding assignment:
Tutorial 8: Making Data from Street View
Use the Google Street View Static API to download street view images for 20 - 100 significant locations of your choosing. Also pay attention to the camera bearing/orientation.
Design a layout to present the images on one or more pages (or GIFs)
Submission Materials:
A multi page PDF with:
Page 1: the layout you designed, and a link to your google colab notebook.
Page 2: A screenshot of the directory on your computer where you have saved your downloaded images
A downloaded csv or geojson of your final dataset (on canvas)
Tutorial 9: Making Data in Python:
Now that we have recreated a portion of Tutorial 1 in Python, for the assignment please either:
Recreate tutorial 5 in your own notebook. (just the tutorial, not the challenge)
Wrangle your own data and map something else. (you must have at least one non-spatial dataset, and join it to a spatial one.)
Submission Materials:
A single page PDF with your map as a .png, and a link to your google colab notebook.
A downloaded csv or geojson of your final dataset
Tutorial 10+11:
Create your own story map, using one of the tutorials we have already made, or your own dataset.
Submission Materials:
A multi-page PDF with:
Page 1: a representative screenshot of your story map, with a title, two sentence summary, and a link to the live map.
Page 2: A representative screen recording of your story map (less than 30 seconds, does not have to be the full story).
Submission
Upload your work on Canvas (refer to specific instructions above)
Include it in your finalized Mapping Portfolio
Optional additional exercise
Do all three!

Description
This course provides an introduction to the critical use of geographic information systems (GIS) and the use of spatial methods for urban humanities research.
Maps and geographic analysis are key tools for interpreting the built environment and the social conditions it contains. GIS methods allow for the analysis of geographic features together with attributes (environmental, social, demographic, political) of those places. The thoughtful use of spatial data can reveal previously unseen patterns, changing the way we see and engage with our world. However, maps are never just representations, they are nearly always active agents in shaping the worlds they describe. With this in mind, students will be introduced to a range of approaches for creating and manipulating spatial data with a focus on the forms of authorship, design, subjectivity embedded in spatial data and its uses.
This is a "making & doing" workshop course that is open to students from within GSAPP, GSAS and the Columbia and Barnard Colleges and is designed to expand the disciplinary locations in which spatial data analysis takes place. Through hands-on exercises and weekly assignments participants will develop basic fluency with open-source mapping software, QGIS, methods of data collection and creation, and approaches and concepts in critical spatial analysis and map design.
Learning Objectives
After completing the course participants will:
Develop robust familiarity with QGIS and its functions
Gain fluency with foundational GIS concepts (including how the GIS data model abstracts geographic phenomena)
Understand GIS spatial data types and the kinds of analysis that are possible with each
Create new spatial datasets from field observation and participatory sensing
Create new spatial datasets from archival sources
Access and use multispectral satellite imagery
Acquire fluency with visual design concepts central to cartographic representations

This is an interdisciplinary paper with insights about both the history of land use in New York City and new methods for uncovering such histories with GIS. The link between these two aspects of the paper is really key and helpful, I think, as an illustration of how to develop spatial projects. They discuss three different sets of methods about three different urban land use phenomena. If you need to skim this piece read the introduction/conclusion and then pick at one of the sections on methods to focus on.

This is a short essay on the significance and context of the cartographic work of W.E.B. Du Bois, a scholar and civil rights leader working in the United States in the early-mid 20th century. This essay discusses a historical mapping project, but unlike the other readings/projects for this week, it does not re-draw or further develop GIS methods/data from that historical material. Instead a key point this article brings to our conversations in class is the importance of interrogating historical/archival materials in relation to the context in which they were created.
