GIS for Urban Planning Course Overview

Consultants and Government town and country planning department started following best practices with GIS, GPS, Remote Sensing, LiDAR and advance surveying technologies like Total Station Surveying, Drone Surveying to speed up planning process. New smart city reforms heavily employ and relies these technologies. Having skills and competence on these technologies increase job/ employment value of Urban Planning professionals. Earth environment is a single, vast interdependent system. We cannot make demands on the environment in one part of the world without creating consequences in another. Earth’s increasingly complex environmental challenge demand increasingly sophisticated solutions. Geographic information system (GIS) is one solution to humanity’s need to better manage. These technologies are employed in project like DILRMP and NUIS.

In this training class, you will learn about GIS, GIS Data sources, GIS Analysis, Terrain analysis concepts from perception of urban planners. Along with real implementation examples in India, hands-on practical exercise exposure of Urban Planning/Design Life Cycle. This contains projections and coordinate systems transformation, geo-referencing, digitization, and topology, map layout of human settlements /planning, compilation of data from various urban data sources like Total Station, GPS, and LiDAR. Advance analytical technics cover geo-coding, table join and relates, geostatistical analysis, overlay analysis, surface interpolation methods and data exploration technics of urban environment parameters, thematic map preparation. Remote Sensing includes LULC (Land Use Land Cover) image classification technics, information on free sources of remote sense satellite data and DEM, construct DEM using LiDAR data like .las files. You will create visualise 3D GIS data, topographic maps and existing planning maps of ELU (Existing Land Use), PLU (Proposed Land Use), revenue, cadastral and land parcel maps. Course also demonstrate specially emphasis on urban and environmental case studies for betting design and vision. Concepts presented in lecture will be put into practice through hands-on laboratory exercises utilizing the GIS software.
