GIS for the Urban Environment by Juliana Maantay
GIS for the Urban Environment is a useful tool for all students and practitioners who want to learn more about how they might apply GIS to urban planning, public health, urban environmental assessment, hazard and emergency management, geographic analysis, or sustainable community development. The exercises and case studies in the book present clear illustrations of GIS usage in contemporary cities and urban regions through examples of real-life applications. ArcView, ArcEditor, or ArcInfo 9 is required to complete the exercises in this book. Earlier software releases are not compatible. The CD included with this book contains the data used in the exercises.
