One of the most powerful aspects of GIS is the ability visualize data and see spatial patterns. Many of the maps made by Unit members have been published in peer reviewed journals.

The BEH group published the map, Neighborhood Physical Disorder in NYC, in the Journal of Maps. Animations can also be made using JAVA and the MAPBOX and CartoDB web GIS tool kits.
