Beyond Maps: 5 Ways GIS Can Transform Your Career in Urban Planning & Design
Whether you’re an urban planner, architect, designer, researcher or student, GIS has become one of the most valuable and in-demand skills for urban professionals, helping them better understand places, communicate ideas, and make more informed decisions.
In this free live webinar by The GeoSpatial Hub powered by All Things Urban, we’ll explore five practical ways GIS is used in real urban projects, from finding and analysing spatial data to creating professional maps and integrating AI into modern workflows. You’ll also see a live QGIS demonstration and discover how these skills can be applied in your own work, even if you’re completely new to GIS.
We’ll conclude with an overview of our upcoming GIS & Spatial Analysis for Urbanists course and an open Q&A, where you can ask any questions about the programme, learning experience, or whether it’s the right fit for your goals. You can learn more about the course here and bring any question you might have about it.
