UCL Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis

The Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis at University College London hosted a two day workshop on the 8th and 9th January, 2009, showcasing recent research. The first day of the event was less technical and designed to showcase our use of new technologies for mapping and visualizing information about cities. It was similar to our conference held in the Barbican in February earlier this year (see http://www.casa.ucl.ac.uk/barbican/programme.asp). The second day entailed technical workshops, designed primarily for members of the S4 European Spatial Analysis network.
