An online dashboard from the Center for Systems Science and Engineering (CSSE) at Johns Hopkins University was created using ArcGIS Dashboards (formerly Operations Dashboard for ArcGIS) from Esri. The dashboard includes data provided by the World Health Organization (WHO), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), and the National Health Commission of the People’s Republic of China (NHC). The path toward sustainability, however, starts with geography, which Dangermond calls “the science of our world.” In the geodesign process, geography provides content and context when studying issues or considering design alternatives. With a technical background in social epidemiology, data science, urban studies, and geographic information science (GIS), today I am a data analyst with extensive experience using government, survey and clinical datasets to understand issues and trends in population health.
ARCHITECTURE SEQUENCE
Geo—Design aims to articulate the “geo—” (from the Greek gaîa for “earth”) and to bring it to bear on the agency of design in a world facing climate change. Such ability to respond, or response-ability, requires a shift from the framing of the planet as “global” and “common” to ground, situated, and diffract geography, climate, and technology. Geo—Design also begs a transformation of the framework through which design engages the Earth and climate––of the concepts, scales, domains, modes of representation, methodologies, and formats of work.
University of Florida
Last year, he did an analysis of car park space for the United Kingdom’s Ministry for Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG). MHCLG and other government agencies and stakeholders are looking for development space for housing, which is very limited. Rendon said the lidar data not only showed what structures were damaged by the hurricane, but also, when mapped, gave the team insight into where and how the dunes along the coastline had shifted—or were pushed back—closer to the base by the hurricane’s force. Penn State Geodesign courses are online and most are asynchronous to allow flexibility for working professionals, enabling participation as individual schedules permit. Whether it was constructing elaborate forts as a child, singing in choirs, composing music, or designing treehouses, I’ve always found immense joy in the process of creating.

For years, the agency has been using GIS technology to make advances in the region’s planning. Geodesign can help in the planning process by providing the context, analysis simulation, and evaluation necessary to develop the most robust alternatives possible. This StoryMap presents a GIS model that details the threats of climate change on the Joshua tree forest in California, providing an overview of suitability analysis, explaining the unfortunate influence that climate change will have on the forest and calling to action adoption of adaptation strategies. Develop a sufficient depth of knowledge and abilities in preparation for entry-level employment in a wide variety of fields, or for graduate study in the spatial sciences or other related disciplines. GEO has been serving the product design and development industry for over 18 years, providing design services from concept to production to a variety of customers.

In Global Geodesign is a highly structured academic program that requires a minimum of 128 units. Geography helps to explain the world around us and the impact of natural and manmade events. For example, we fragment the forest and pollute the air and oceans which impact ecosystems. But at the end of the century, scientists project that half of all species will face extinction. But by putting people’s needs as a top priority, it doesn’t look at the consequences of actions.
With classes in architecture, design, geographic information and public policy, the major has expanded my thinking in the process of creative problem-solving. Geodesign is a set of concepts and methods[1] used to involve all stakeholders and various professions in collaboratively designing and realizing the optimal solution for spatial challenges in the built and natural environments, utilizing all available techniques and data in an integrated process. Originally, geodesign was mainly applied during the design and planning phase.
Whether it is planning, redesign and rehabilitation of existing structures, or innovative new design, students will be provided a theoretical foundation for seeking sustainable solutions to problems in the built environment. The degree program is supported by the globally recognized expertise in sustainability of the faculty in the College of Design, Construction and Planning and from across campus. Global Geodesign majors build upon a USC liberal arts foundation in the Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences and take interdisciplinary courses in geographic information science (GIS), landscape architecture, architecture, and urban planning and development. In the curriculum, Global Geodesign majors will delve into perspectives and approaches that transcend the boundaries of the United States to promote global environmental sustainability. Urban planners, landscape architects, GIS analysts, engineers, designers, and other planning and technology professionals from around the globe are using geodesign concepts and geospatial technology to shape the future of how and where we live, work, and play.
The substance of the Earth can now be structured and mapped using the important geo-spatial codings used in GIS to include detail about the surface of the planet, what lies below the surface, what is found in the atmosphere. Existing geo-spatial coding mechanisms will need extra definition to allow this additional information to be included so that depth and height can now be recorded. Many more stories about how geodesign techniques and GIS technology can be used together to support a more sustainable world were told at the Geodesign Summit. Videos of the Geodesign Summit will be posted in the near future on the Esri YouTube channel.
About this Program
Geodesign is an up-and-coming field of study that combines geography with design (hence the term “Geodesign”. McGuinness analyzed remotely sensed imagery of publicly owned car parks in the United Kingdom, using machine learning classification methods and an image classification tool in ArcGIS Pro. He was looking for the car parks that would be the best situated for housing, one factor being that the parks needed to be within easy walking distance of public transit.
The ability for geodesign to enable marginalised people to participate in the design process is seen as central to the levels of acceptance accorded to future projects by similar groups. Technology permits the collation and presentation of key data in a format that allows stakeholders to engage in “what if” type activities and see the results of their speculation rapidly. I chose Geodesign because of its solution oriented approach to cities and sustainability. The major emphasizes a value-based, creative design process grounded in geographic information. In a world increasingly driven by economic profit, I think this idealistic yet data-driven approach is vital in addressing environmental and social issues.
Geodesign brings together geographic information science (GIS), big data, science, computational power, architecture, landscape architecture, urban and regional planning and more to address challenges and issues presented by the built environment. It uses stakeholder input, creative design techniques, evaluation, rigorous methodologies, spatial analysis, modeling, and mapping to find the most suitable, environmentally friendly, and sustainable options for how to use space. The space may be used for wildlife conservation, development, infrastructure, flood control systems, or transportation projects, to name just a few examples.
However, the fact that the entity being created or modified is referenced to the geographic space in which it resides means that it is also, either directly or indirectly, referenced to all other information referenced to that same space. These skills are empowered through software and applied research projects affiliated with the Geo-Facilities Planning and Information Research Center, or GeoPlan Center. This prominent entrepreneurial Center, was established in 1984 as a response to local and statewide needs for a teaching and research environment in Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The Center is affiliated with the Department of Urban and Regional Planning, in the University of Florida’s College of Design, Construction and Planning.
Because design and evaluation have traditionally been separate disciplines, this phase of a project can be time-consuming and tedious. Student chooses from courses listed in semesters 5-7 of the major's semester plan. Students will not be required to take more credits than required in semesters with less than 3 credits in electives. DCP advisors have a list of 1 and 2 credit electives in which students may enroll. Carl SteinitzCarl Steinitz is the Alexander and Victoria Wiley Professor of Landscape Architecture and Planning, Emeritus, at Harvard University Graduate School of Design. He has devoted much of his academic and professional career to improving decisions in conservation and development.
So geodesign imagines cities by incorporating the environment, distant populations, and future generations. Instead of considering what’s best, it considers what’s best down the road. Geodesign is also being used at the Cape Cod Commission, the area’s regional land-use planning, economic development, and regulatory agency.
The base, which was in the eye of the storm, was slammed by winds that downed thousands of acres of nonnative timber. A project estimated at $3 billion is under way to repair the damage and make the base more resilient and less vulnerable to climate change, hurricanes, and other natural hazards. In the fall 2021 semester, Penn State graduate students explored real-world land use and planning challenges in revisioning Toronto’s waterfront through a 14-week geodesign collaborative studio.
For instance, design constructs a place that is ideal for future purposes. Chung said the government had a large dataset that could be used to assess the hurricane’s damage to the base. “We have a massive amount of information—lidar—and we wanted to take advantage of that,” he said. This StoryMap won the 2023 Los Angeles Geospatial Summit Esri prize for the most innovative use of technology. Beyond the classroom, the program helped open up so many doors for me, allowing me to conduct research on Catalina Island, present at conferences like the Los Angeles Geospatial Summit and intern at Esri.
