"AppStudio is a native app builder that allows you to build the app and automatically deploy it on An..." — Jack Dangermond

GIS is waking up the world to the power of geography, this science of integration, and has the framework for creating a better future.

There is the GIS world that is largely managing authoritative data sources, supporting geocentric workflows like fixing roads, making cities more livable through better planning, environmental management, forest management, drilling in the right location for oil, managing assets and utilities.

We tell stories with maps about global warming, biodiversity; we can design more livable cities, track the spread of epidemics. That makes a difference.

I have high hopes that GIS will become increasingly relevant for landscape architects as we make the tools easier to use for the design process of just inventory and mapping.
