Historical Urban Geography and GIS

Historical Urban Geography studies how cities have developed and changed over time, focusing on their layout, population, and socio-economic dynamics. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are powerful tools used to analyze and visualize spatial data. In Historical GIS, this technology is applied to map and analyze historical data, helping researchers understand past urban landscapes, social patterns, and infrastructure. By integrating old maps, texts, and archaeological findings, Historical GIS enables a richer understanding of urban evolution and the factors that shaped cities throughout history, allowing us to see connections between the past and present.
