One of the recurring core topics in this new MSc curriculum is Data and GIS use in Urban Planning.
Until just a decade ago spatial planning and analytics projects had problems with getting enough data. But nowadays there is so much data available, that it is increasingly hard to make sense of it – because of the 3 V’s of big data - volume, variety, velocity. The open data movement, government agencies, research institutes and citizen scientists alike make more and more data available publicly, mobile phones, sensor networks and satellites generate a multitude of datasets every day
In order solve the Interdisciplinary challenges of urban planning we want to empower you with skills and knowledge to analyse, visualise and understand processes and data. For that we teach the Full cycle of spatial data management, from the various methods of data acquisition, followed by efficient and practical processing techniques, to subsequent meaningful analysis and visualisation; in order to consequently make successful planning decisions for a sustainable future.
You will learn how to combine geography and IT in the age of BIG data. This is essentially what we believe modern Geoinformatics is representing. Mastering Geoinformatics will provide you with tools to analyse social and natural processes in space for interdisciplinary decision- and policy-making.
