There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Community data is a critical piece of our public infrastructure, ensuing the alignment of programs and policies to community needs. It becomes more critical in understanding our citizens when our physical movements and interactions are limited. Clio Maria Andris will share her analysis on spatial networks and Friendly Cities. Tommy Pearce will show how Neighborhood Nexus leverages community data to help mission-driven organizations ask the right questions, use the best data, tell compelling stories, and make informed decisions.
