  <title><![CDATA[Introducing the Center for Spatial Planning Analytics and Visualization]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>After almost 20 years, the research portfolio of the Center for Geographic Information Systems far exceeds the capabilities of GIS. Therefore the Center will continue its research under a new banner, the <a href="http://spav.gatech.edu/">Center for Spatial Planning Analytics and Visualization</a>.</p>

<p>According to Center Director Subhro Guhathakurta, &ldquo;The time is right for building a new platform and brand that captures our capabilities and ambitions.&rdquo;<br />
<br />
The Center now has a new name and a leading approach to sustainable urban futures and advancing geospatial technologies. Their research now includes big data, deep learning, immersive visualization, augmented reality, and cloud computing.</p>

<p>The Center will continue its collaboration with other units on campus, including <a href="https://design.gatech.edu/">College of Design</a> units, the <a href="https://cqgrd.gatech.edu/">Center for Quality Growth and Regional Development (CQGRD)</a>, the <a href="https://catea.gatech.edu/">Center for Assistive Technology and Environmental Access (CATEA)</a>, and the <a href="https://planning.gatech.edu/">School of City and Regional Planning</a>.<br />

  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never

         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
