"Maps tell the story of San Diego and Northern Baja. We are Connected"
Geodesign* - Engineering the Transition to Renewable Energy and Clean Water for All
Session Detail: Maps help us find our way, make better decisions and even see the future. Today, we all use Google Earth and layered information on maps. We will visualize current and future options - using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to better understand our geography, demographics, trends and impacts.
The Global Classroom Series brings together international students to explores the critical trends, challenges and solutions to some of our world's most pressing problems.
Topics to be Covered:
Why we need to plan comprehensively- Global issues are affecting local communities everywhere.
What are the key drivers - Climate change, population growth, energy and water demand are all increasing.
What are the desirable conditions for sustainable development, and why resiliency planning is now required
How do we analyze these issues in an interconnected world - there are no silos, everything is connected to everything.
Planning for the future - comprehensive anticipatory design science.
Visualizing current and future options- using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to understanding our geography, demographics and impacts
