Biography

Steven RomalewskiÂ’s 20+ year career has centered around accessing, understanding, analyzing, and publicizing data for public policy development, community planning, and research purposes. In 2006 he joined the Center for Urban Research at The Graduate Center / CUNY to establish the CUNY Mapping Service, responsible in part for coordinating the Open Accessible Space Information System (OASIS) partnership and providing geographic information systems (GIS) to a wide array of organizations.

Prior to joining CUNY and the faculty at Pratt, Romalewski had directed and co-founded the Community Mapping Assistance Project (CMAP) at NYPIRG. During its 8-year history, CMAP enabled dozens of nonprofits and others to leverage the power of GIS in their work. He holds a Masters in Urban Planning from Columbia University in the City of New York and a B.A. in Economics from the State University of New York at Stony Brook.
