Urban planners increasingly rely on GIS to make defensible land use, zoning, and infrastructure decisions in fast-growing cities; this course builds that capability with real urban datasets. Participants apply suitability modelling and growth analysis to a real city context.
This course builds practical GIS skills for urban and regional planning, covering land use and zoning mapping, site suitability analysis using multi-criteria overlay for infrastructure and development siting, and urban growth and sprawl detection using multi-temporal satellite imagery.
Participants also work through network analysis for transport and infrastructure planning, population density and service-area analysis for public facility siting, and building the planning maps and reports that inform master plans, environmental impact assessments, and public consultation processes.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
Day 1: GIS Foundations for Urban Planning
Day 2: Land Use and Zoning Mapping
Day 3: Site Suitability Analysis
Day 4: Detecting Urban Growth and Sprawl
Day 5: Transport and Infrastructure Network Analysis
Day 6: Population Density and Service Area Analysis
Day 7: Identifying Informal Settlement Growth
Day 8: Building Planning Maps for Master Plans
Day 9: Public Consultation Materials
Day 10: Applied Urban Planning GIS Project
This course is for urban planners who need defensible, data-driven analysis behind land use, zoning and infrastructure decisions in fast-growing cities.
Participants who complete the ten days receive a Certificate of Completion from Vision Reach Global Consultancy, confirming their ability to apply GIS and spatial analysis to urban planning decisions.
