GIS Applications in Urban Planning.
“Unlock the Power of Location: Master GIS Fundamentals for Urban Planning Success!”
GIS Vision India®
Introduction:
This training module focuses on the applications of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in the field of urban planning. It explores how GIS technologies and spatial analysis techniques can be leveraged to support effective urban planning processes, decision-making, and sustainable development. Through hands-on exercises and real-world case studies, participants will develop practical skills and gain a deeper understanding of how GIS can be applied in urban planning contexts.
GIS plays a crucial role in urban planning by providing tools and techniques to analyse and visualise spatial data, making informed decisions regarding urban development, land use, infrastructure, and resource management.
About the course:
This training course is specifically tailored with the necessary skills and knowledge to effectively use GIS in the context of urban development and city planning.
Aim & Objective:
The scope of GIS in urban planning is vast, with applications ranging from city-wide master planning to neighborhood-level development projects. The aim of the course is to leverage GIS technology and improve urban planners with data-driven decisions, optimize resource allocation, improve the quality of life for residents, and create sustainable and resilient cities.
