Author: Colleen Sloan & Jill Desimini

Throughout my time at Harvard GSD I was a Research and Teaching Assistant to Professor Jill Desimini. My work with Jill was focused on using data and GIS mapping to tell stories about vacant land and its relationship to environmental and cultural factors. Analysis for this work included cities across the United States and was an extension of Jill’s previous publication, From Fallow. The excerpt of the work shown here includes various mapping studies of Connecticut as it relates to land use, the environment, and tools such as land banks and trusts.
