Q1
Urban geographers often use GIS to layer street networks, land use, and demographic indicators to detect patterns such as clustering of services or uneven access to parks. Because GIS links data to precise locations, it can reveal how a city’s form changes across neighborhoods and over time, supporting decisions about transit routes, zoning, or emergency response. However, GIS results still depend on the quality of input data and the scale of analysis, so mapped patterns may shift when boundaries or variables change. Which statement best captures a key use of GIS in urban analysis?
