Applied GIS and Spatial Analysis in Urban and Regional Studies
About the course
Course content
The course is problem-driven, cross-disciplinary, and addresses real-world, complex urban and regional problems. Students have the opportunity to advance skills and competences developed in previous studies, particularly in the use of GIS data, through more in‑depth and analytically oriented project work. Students will conduct in‑depth studies on selected topics within areas such as environmental analysis, real estate and land use, transportation, spatial planning, and urban development.
The course provides students with the conceptual knowledge, methods, and tools required for the analytical and critical use of spatial and statistical data in urban and regional studies
