Description
Summary:Geodesign is an urban planning framework which combines the traditionally separated tasks of landscape planning, site planning, and geographic analysis through automated software flows. Through the amalgamation of these elements, a user gains a fuller picture of the environment they are planning for and becomes better equipped to explain planning decisions. As planning processes become increasingly complex, geodesign software becomes necessary to successfully facilitate planning. Using the software product Engineer Site Identification for the Technical Environment (ENSITE) as an example, this article provides a framework for successful geodesign products made up of four aspects: rapid development; flexible software architecture; global data; team of subject matter experts.
