Spatial Optimization

Spatial optimization is the process of efficiently arranging or allocating resources, facilities, or activities within a geographical space to achieve specific goals. It involves using mathematical methods and data analysis to determine the best locations, sizes, or configurations that maximize benefits like cost savings, accessibility, or service quality. For example, determining the optimal placement of warehouses to minimize shipping costs or designing urban layouts to reduce congestion. This approach helps organizations and planners make informed, data-driven decisions to utilize physical space effectively and efficiently.
