This capacity-building programme equips urban planners, professionals, and decision-makers with essential skills in GIS and Remote Sensing to support sustainable and inclusive urban development. Covering seven core modules and a preparatory session, the training focuses on spatial analysis, infrastructure planning, mobility, climate adaptation, gender inclusion, and risk assessment using open-source tools like QGIS. The course begins with foundational concepts of GIS, map components, and spatial data types. Participants then explore thematic and time-series mapping to interpret trends and inform decisions. Modules on participatory GIS, infrastructure mapping, and hazard-vulnerability assessments prepare learners to address real-world urban challenges. Advanced topics include microclimate-informed planning using simulation tools, integrating land use with transportation strategies (e.g., TOD), and applying gender-responsive planning practices. The final module on land suitability analysis enables participants to assess land potential for agriculture, development, and conservation through multi-criteria evaluation. By the end of the programme, participants gain hands-on experience and strategic insights to design data-driven, inclusive, and climate-resilient urban plans.
