Planning March 2018
Joining the Fight
The March issue of Planning offers a brutal reminder that opioid addiction is a nationwide scourge. In the cover story, "The Geography of Loss," maps produced with GIS software dramatically illustrate where the epidemic hits hardest: in rural areas, especially in a broad swath of middle America. Planners are using this visual geographic data as they join public health workers and policy makers in the fight against deadly substance abuse.
