Geographic Information and Planning

Geographic Information and Planning involve using detailed maps and spatial data to make informed decisions about land use, development, and resource management. It combines geographic information systems (GIS), which organize and analyze geographic data, with planning strategies to solve problems and improve communities. This approach helps planners visualize patterns, assess environmental impacts, and optimize infrastructure placement, ensuring decisions are data-driven, sustainable, and tailored to the specific needs and characteristics of a location.
