Mapping the Conflict in Aleppo, Syria
Over the course of four months American Security Project supported Caerus Associates and First Mile Geo in what may be the highest fidelity, time series analysis of the ongoing human tragedy unfolding inside of Aleppo, Syria.
The picture derived from this work offers a clear and stunning perspective, street block by street block of the Syrian conflict and the impact it is having.
The report’s authors, David Kilcullen and Nathaniel Rosenblatt, draw from this picture by covering the humanitarian, security, political, and governance implications that follow from it.
This work does not just tell us something about Syria, however. It also tells us something about how advancements in innovative technology like First Mile Geo can offer a dynamic and interactive picture that can be used by analysts and humanitarian responders alike.
