Planning Research Methods and Analysis (Studio) - Spatial Data Acquisition and Analysis

This studio will undertake the application of planning theories and techniques along with qualitative research and analysis methods used by planners in a real-world development project. The course will use applied planning principles to guide students through the analysis of a site and its context, including its planning policy framework, its geo-spatial characteristics and socio-economic conditions. In this capstone course, students will apply the knowledge gained from technical and theoretical courses in the semester to the first phase of a development project. This first phase includes context, legislation and policy analysis, gathering relevant studies, data and special analysis conducted through GIS, and the creation of concept plans and drawings that will help with the design and development of policy recommendations in the next phase of the project.
