Mapping Global Cities: GIS Methods in Urban Analysis

by Ayse Pamuk
IURD Visiting Scholar and
Associate Professor
Department of Urban Studies
San Francisco State University

Spatial thinking and analysis are essential for intelligent urban policymaking in a global world. The upcoming title, Mapping Global Cities: GIS Methods in Urban Analysis, shows how geographic information systems can be usefully applied to new urban planning and policy challenges in global metropolitan regions, especially those where swift demographic transformations are primarily responsible for recent rapid growth. The analysis of high-quality international data on human settlements and U.S. census data on population and housing with GIS provides a powerful new perspective in addressing urban research and policy questions.

Ayse Pamuk is an associate professor of urban studies at San Francisco State University and a visiting scholar at the Institute of Urban and Regional Development, University of California–Berkeley. She has advised the governments of Brazil, Turkey, and Trinidad and Tobago on low-income housing policy and was awarded a National Science Foundation grant to integrate GIS into social science research methods curricula. Her articles have been published in leading urban studies and planning journals, which include the International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, the Journal of Planning Education and Research, and Urban Studies.

Collaborative Regional Initiatives: Civic Entrepreneurs Work to Fill the Governance Gap

by Judith Innes and
Jane Rongerude
Department of City and Regional Planning
University of California, Berkeley

Collaborative Regional Initiatives (CRIs) are partnerships of government, business, and community representatives working together to promote the economic vitality and improve the quality of life in their regions. From 1997 to 2004, the James Irvine Foundation invested more than $20 million in 17 CRIs in California to see if such regional collaboration could help create long-lasting solutions. This report, resulting from three years of research and analysis by the Institute of Urban and Regional Development (IURD), finds that CRIs can be important vehicles for engaging a range of stakeholders toward addressing economic, environmental, and social issues at the regional level.
