China GIS data

By MIT Libraries on December 6, 2006 in Art & architecture & planning

Did you know the MIT Libraries has Chinese census data, to the county level, from 2000 to 1953 in GIS format? We also have township level census data for 2000, as well as satellite imagery. It is now easier than ever to find these datasets on the MIT GIS lab website at: //libraries.mit.edu/gis/data/findingaids/china.html
