Design a geospatial workflow to plan for smart urban growth

Course Objective

The world’s population is on a trajectory to grow by 25% and reach 9.7 billion over the next 30 years. Every city in the world faces the problem of determining where people can live. You could be the urban planner or GIS analyst that needs the skills and strategies for presenting sustainable growth alternatives. This course will teach you how to build a GIS process workflow from start to finish. You’ll learn how to create and load spatial data in geodatabases, how to design spatial models that map growth scenarios, and how to present map alternatives online for public review. You will walk away with geo-planning skills that can be marketable to any city or private planning consultancy that designs sustainable urban growth plans.

Focus your learning on the skills GIS jobs are asking for

A common GIS education path has been to pursue a Masters program in GIS. But it’s widely known in the industry that new geography grads are not getting enough exposure to cloud, mobile, and new geospatial programming environments.

So we assembled a world class team to teach you how to be the talent that the geospatial industry WILL HIRE. Compare the experience of our industry instructors and you’ll see why we top the list of best online GIS certiWcate programs.

Real-world scenarios

I like the real-world scenarios. My professors used to do GIS before Web GIS was in existence so our curriculum is out of date. The courses I’ve taken on the Bootcamp GIS platform are so much more useful than my school’s lab exercises which only taught me to digitize a line, generate a buffer, and make a map layout.
