Welcome to Geodesign Strategy Lab

What do we study in the lab?

Geodesign Strategy Lab integrates geospatial technologies with social and cultural analysis, focusing on cities under conditions of demographic and environmental transition. We study how the social and physical environment affects residents' health, wellbeing, and quality of life. Our research aims to improve residents' lives and assist cities, communities, and organizations in making faster, smarter spatial decisions - together.
