Geographic Information and Planning (GIP)

Geographic Information and Planning (GIP) integrates geographic data with planning processes to help visualize, analyze, and manage spatial information related to land use, infrastructure, and development. It uses tools like maps and geographic Information Systems (GIS) to support decision-making in urban planning, environmental management, transportation, and resource allocation. GIP enables planners and policymakers to understand how different factors interact across space, leading to more informed, efficient, and sustainable planning outcomes. It is essential for addressing complex spatial challenges and promoting coordinated development.
