Interesting visualization by @toddrjones. It would be interesting to see the dots in different colors, based on income groups (high/middle and low-income countries)

From #GIS innovations in #census to conservancy to #NYC transit, so excited and inspired at my 1st #esriUC. Pics on census cartography in 1940s-60s, and with my great @PopDevUNFPA and @grid3global colleague @SainanZhang

US Census is presenting the historical progress on the incorporation of #GIS in #census collection. For the 2020 Census, ~350,000 census takers are equipped with mobile devices collecting data from the field: boundary, roads, and population. @Esri @EsriUC @PopDevUNFPA

#ArcGIS new tools enhanced feature analysis, real-time analytics and collaboration with AI, ML and Deep Leaning to guide decision makers, city planners... with intelligent information. @Esri #EsriUC

[Sainan Zhang @SainanZhang]

#ArcGIS #GIS uses locations to integrate heterogeneous information and data together and create a common language. It is a very powerful thing. #ESRIUC2019
