The goal of the Great Cities Urban Data Visualization Program
is to establish a high tech URBAN AND REGIONAL DATA RETRIEVAL and
COMPUTER VISUALIZATION capacity that will serve UIC faculty, students,
and external public and community agencies.
The key characteristics of this program are:
-The focus on spatial, geographically disaggregated data.
-The role as a linkage or access point to data available anywhere.
-The function of translator and visualizer of otherwise hard
to use or understand data.
The program will 1) assemble, maintain, and arrange for access
to a large number of databases relating to community and economic
development and housing; 2) provide a range of pro-active and
demand-responsive information services, focusing on disaggregated
community and regional data; and 3) support and conduct research
and teaching advancing the state of the art in the field of urban
and regional data visualization and data access. The project will
benefit public and not-for-profit agencies in the Chicago region
and the state by enhancing their ability to access and use data
related to economic and community development. Students and researchers
throughout UIC and elsewhere will benefit by bringing together
the latest in data access, manipulation, and visualization techniques.
