NYC Agency Maps, Tools, & Geospatial Data for 2026

New York City agencies create and publish a huge volume of geospatial data each year. They use Geographic Information Systems (GIS) – computer-based tools to store, visualize, and analyze this geographic data. This panel will review publicly-available tools and datasets, discuss the state of GIS technology in the city, and consider how the City uses geospatial data to serve NYC residents.  Join this conversation with agency GIS leaders about new maps & tools, geospatial data, and initiatives for 2026.
