Geospatial data is now more freely available than it ever has been, and today's planner has a wealth of data available to them. From football clubs to Twitter conversations, government spending to the spread of diseases - data can be mapped. Once mapped, the data begins to tell stories, patterns are revealed, and effective planning decisions can be made. When used effectively, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) allow students, planners, residents and policymakers to solve problems in the environment, society and the economy. This engaging and practical guide is a much-needed new textbook that explains what GIS is and why it is such a powerful tool. Covering topics such as geovisualization, mapping principles, network analysis and decision making, the book also draws on global principles, network analysis and decision making, the book also draws on global examples which illustrate the application of GIS in the real world. This accessible text is essential reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students taking modules on GIS, data analysis and mapping, as well as for planners, urbanists and geographers with an interest in how GIS can help us better understand the built environment
