[1] CASA is still largely funded through research grants but from 2010 it began to diversify, introducing Masters programmes in spatial analysis and in Smart Cities.
Masters courses developed since 2010 include MSc's in Smart Cities and Urban Analytics[2] and Spatial Data Science and Visualisation.
[7] The centre is active in exploring how the Internet of Things can be deployed in large urban areas linking objects in the built environment through internet technologies,[8] and was active with the Technology Strategy Board’s Future Cities Catapult in pioneering new software systems for smart cities such as dashboards and portals.
Several alumni have made important contributions to the science of cities working in geographic information systems, spatial analysis and urban modelling at UC Berkeley, Maryland, NYU, George Mason, UCL, KRISH, LSE, TU-Istanbul, KCL, Cardiff, Tehran, Manchester, OU, ETH-Zurich, kingston, Malta, Warwick, Birkbeck, and Liverpool.
OpenStreetMap (OSM) originated in UCL CASA and The Bartlett, and the firms GeoFutures[13] and Intelligent Space (acquired by Atkins) were associated with the centre.
