#  About 

 



Geographic Insights is an interdisciplinary research lab based at the [Harvard Center for Population and Development Studies](https://popcenter.harvard.edu/) and the [Harvard Center of Geographic Analysis](https://gis.harvard.edu/) within the [Institute for Quantitative Social Science](https://www.iq.harvard.edu/). We believe fine-grained data bring important insights and accountability to policy actions. We develop and apply state-of-the-art data science solutions to harness geographic data for better evidence-based policymaking.
