Urban Information Systems is a cross-cutting group in MIT's Department of Urban Studies and Planning. Research and reaching focuses on the use of information technologies to understand the relationships underlying urban spatial structure and on the use of technology to facilitate broader and deeper participation in the planning of urban futures. Participating faculty come from DUSP's four program groups with particular interests in applying computing technology. Faculty and student interests go beyond specific computing technologies or techniques in order to understand the ripple effects of computing, communications, and digital spatial information on urban and regional planning processes and on the methods for shaping and nurturing metropolitan areas.
