The Cartographic Modeling Lab (CML)—a Penn-affiliated research lab that uses GIS mapping software to build models of social environments that enable researchers to predict and explain the dynamics of urban change—has recently moved from Meyerson Hall to the School of Social Work's Caster Building.
The CML provides support for users of GIS software, develops research tools for the public, and engages in innovative research and urban and social policy analysis with a special focus on Philadelphia in many of the projects: NeighborhoodBase, MuralBase, and the Affordable Housing study.
Researchers are invited to visit the CML web site at www.cml.upenn.edu to find out how the CML resources can benefit them or visit them for training in research applications.
