Mapping Columbus' Ghost Neighborhoods: Using AI and GIS to Create 3D Models of Neighborhoods Damaged by Urban Highways and Urban Renewal in the 20th Century

Harvey J. Miller, professor of geography at Ohio State University, will give the talk "Mapping Columbus' Ghost Neighborhoods: Using AI and GIS to Create 3D Models of Neighborhoods Damaged by Urban Highways and Urban Renewal in the 20th Century" at the annual E. Willard and Ruby S. Miller Endowed Lecture at 3:30 p.m. on Friday, March 15.

Miller will discuss the "The Ghost Neighborhoods of Columbus" project, which integrates artificial intelligence and geographic information systems (GIS) with historical Sanborn Fire Insurance maps to generate 3D models of areas impacted by 20th-century urban policies. This project aims to illustrate the consequences of urban highway construction and urban renewal on communities.
