Designing Our Future: GIS for Architecture, Engineering & Construction
Edited by Kathleen Kewley, Micah Callough, and Keith Mann
Location intelligence is changing how land development and large infrastructure projects take shape. This book provides an overview of why and how architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) firms worldwide are using GIS and location intelligence to strengthen their design practices; realize greater operational efficiency; improve the livability of cities, workplaces, and campuses; and share information throughout the life cycle of the building. Whether building a new residential complex or planning a high-speed rail system, taking a geographic approach generates better, more sustainable designs. Designing Our Future: GIS for Architecture, Engineering & Construction shows how architects, engineers, and construction professionals implement GIS to improve workflows; bring context to large projects; and increase collaboration among governments, contractors, partners, and the public.

Learning from COVID-19: GIS for Pandemics
Edited by Este Geraghty and Matt Artz
As the health community examines the worldwide response to the COVID-19 pandemic, part of this process includes improving the level of preparedness for the next public health emergency. Coedited by Esri chief medical officer Dr. Este Geraghty, this book highlights best practices, key GIS capabilities, and lessons learned during the COVID-19 response that can help communities prepare for the next crisis. Learning from COVID-19: GIS for Pandemics gives real examples of how spatial thinking became invaluable for both local and full-scale outbreaks of COVID-19. Answering the question of “where” was paramount, and when civic leaders and public health agencies used GIS to do real-time disease surveillance, it transformed overwhelming amounts of data into valuable and actionable intelligence.
