This comprehensive volume explores the concept of The Spatial University as a vital component of the expanding realm of spatial science and the crucial importance of spatial infrastructure in colleges and universities. The book focuses on the development of U-Spatial, a cutting-edge spatial science infrastructure at the University of Minnesota, which provides a wide array of spatial activities and services, including data access, training, and community building. Against the backdrop of evolving research, teaching, and service practices in higher education, the story of U-Spatial serves as a focal point for a broader discussion of what it means to be a spatial university. Through a narrative framing, the text underscores the significance of institutions investing in dedicated spatial research infrastructure, with specific examples highlighting the benefits of such investments.
In six chapters, the book delves into the critical importance of spatial thinking, learning, and research for the success of students and researchers alike. It offers valuable lessons that can be applied across a diverse range of domains and institutional specializations, making it a valuable resource for students, researchers, policymakers, and practitioners interested in promoting spatial research, teaching, and service. Moreover, the book appeals to researchers and practitioners with an interest in broader applications of spatial science.
Overall, this book provides a comprehensive and insightful examination of the role of GIS in transforming universities and underscores the need for leadership in higher education to harness the power of spatial and geographic concepts for the benefit of all.
