Modeling and simulation allows planners to make informed decisions by using models to understand the possible outcomes of policy decisions and proposed projects. Today’s planners have a range of tools at their disposal, including virtual reality, urban informatics, and land use analysis software. These courses will prepare planners to build models and use them to effectively convey their message to policymakers and the public.
