- Land values in urban centers like Manhattan can be over 100 times higher than in outlying areas such as the Bronx.
- The article introduces CivicMapper and PutItOnAMap (PIOAM), tools designed to visualize land value data and correct misconceptions about where land value is concentrated.
- CivicMapper features include vacant land analysis, parking lot detection via computer vision, and time adjustment tools for property valuations.
- PIOAM offers a suite of GIS tools including a 3D parcel explorer, data fetcher, format converter, and file constructor, all designed to work locally in the browser without sending data to external servers.
- The tools are aimed at urbanists, assessors, and GIS professionals to aid in advocacy, data analysis, and property tax valuation.
- The article encourages donations to support the development of these tools and invites feedback to improve their functionality.
