Welcome to the brand new GeodesignWiki 2.0

We are reinventing the GeodesignWiki. In the mean time, if you have any comments or thoughts, please email Professor Leilei Duan at leileidu@usc.edu.

Welcome to GeodesignWiki.com … a volunteer supported wiki developed by an ever-expanding group of planning and design professionals interested in the subject of geodesign.

The purpose of this site is three-fold …

• to introduce the subject of geodesign, what it means, and some of its implications, particularly for those working with geo-spatial data,
• to facilitate informed conversations about geodesign, and finally
• to encourage others interested in geodesign to play an active role in the development of this nascent field.

We invite you to Join Us
