Last Call for Registration: Dynamic Mapping of Secondary Cities Workshop A 1.5-day workshop is scheduled for the Mapping Secondary Cities for Resiliency, Human Security, and Emergency Preparedness project sponsored by the NGA and State Department. The project is managed by CGA visiting scholar Dr. Melinda Laituri, who is working with the team to plan an international workshop at Harvard on June 14-15 this year. This day and half workshop will focus on open source geospatial tools and technologies for mapping Secondary Cities. The aim of the workshop is to bring together organizations and individuals involved in innovative mapping activities and solutions for emergency preparedness, resiliency planning, and urban sustainability. Secondary Cities are rapidly growing urban areas that are regional hubs for commerce, services, and governance in developing countries that are often inadequately planned for future development and growth. The workshop will open with a half-day session to provide a hands-on venue to explore and assess online, open sources tools for mapping and creating geospatial date for cities. The full day sessions will include: 1) Secondary Cities overview; 2) Case studies of dynamic city data collection; 3) Interactive assessment session of tools as linked to emergency preparedness, resiliency planning, and urban sustainability; 4) Solutions/Lessons learned.
