Preview Housing Virginia’s New Web Tool: Mapbook
(RECAP: Housing Virginia previewed a new web-based tool at the Governor’s Housing Conference. MAPBOOK will use both ArcGIS Story Maps and Tableau data visualizations to tell the story of affordable housing across the state. As a companion to SOURCEBOOK and PLAYBOOK, MAPBOOK will provide a visual way to tell the story of affordable housing in your community. Housing Virginia began MAPBOOK plans several months ago and expects to launch the product mid-2017.)http://www.housingvirginia.org/news/preview-new-web-tool-mapbook/

Today, as high housing costs have put increasing pressure on city neighborhoods of all types, we're seeing a recalibration of the revitalization thought process.)http://www.forbes.com/sites/petesaunders1/2016/12/28/urbanism-themes-2016-and-beyond/#7589382a7286
