Semester 1

Geodesign and Scenario Planning 5 cr

Field Spatial Planning, Geospatial Information Science, Geography

The Scenario Planning and GeoDesign course is a planning methods course. Scenario planning and geodesign are data rich, analytical urban planning methods for assessing how well existing or proposed plans will meet local and regional goals. Scenario planning and geodesign help decision makers compare planning options and to understand how communities can benefit from refinements to existing plans.
