Description

Geodesign is a collaborative and innovative planning process that integrates geospatial technologies, design principles, and stakeholder engagement. This process follows a framework that requires a multidisciplinary and iterative approach to project understanding, design, and decision making. This framework can be applied to a variety of planning and design efforts and is well suited to planning studies without a predetermined outcome. Geodesign uses defined stages with data-driven decision-making and empowers community stakeholders to be a part of the process. Greenway trail planning and transportation planning are well-suited to using a geodesign framework. This webinar will review what geodesign is and share examples of how the geodesign framework can be used for greenway trail planning.
