Geographic Information System (GIS) software combines a database with mapping tools to visualize place-based information and analyze spatial data. Planners use GIS to understand demographic data, analyze sites for suitability, model transportation outcomes, assess environmental impacts, and more. GIS plays an important role in land use planning, demographic analysis, and transportation planning. Whether you're a beginner or just want to brush up your skills, GIS courses can take your mapping skills to the next level.
