All Things Urban

Maps are arguments. Not just aesthetics.

Advanced QGIS Visualization & AI-Aided Styling for Urban Spatial Storytelling is a 2-week live cohort built for urban planners, architects, and designers who already know QGIS basics and want their maps to communicate at a professional level. With clients, with stakeholders, with the people in the room who need to get it in seconds.

The course follows a three-part progression: Define · Build · Refine.

• First, decide what the map needs to say and which layers earn their place.
• Then build it correctly in QGIS using categorized, graduated, and rule-based styling.
• Finally, refine it into a clean, client-ready output.

AI is built into the workflow as a productivity layer that cuts styling and rule-based logic time by 5 to 10x, with the cost of the course typically paid back in saved time within 2 weeks.

We also offer custom GIS and spatial-analysis trainings tailored to organisational workflows, datasets, projects, and decision-making needs, delivered as workshops, multi-week training series, or long-term capacity building programmes. More info here.

Participants should already have a basic understanding of GIS and QGIS workflows. This course is best suited for those who already know how to navigate QGIS and want to improve map design, visual hierarchy, AI-supported styling systems, and professional communication of spatial analysis.

GIS Level:

Intermediate to Advanced – you should be comfortable working in QGIS (data handling, basic analysis, and map creation).

This course is also fully suitable for graduates of our GIS & Spatial Analysis for Urban Practitioners course looking to strengthen their communication and storytelling skills.

Participants who successfully complete the course requirements and final exercises will receive a Certificate of Completion from the GeoSpatial Hub powered by All Things Urban.

The GeoSpatial Hub supports urban professionals and organisations in turning spatial data into decision-ready insight.

We provide applied training, tailored programs, and expert support for teams working across planning, mobility, climate, research, and environmental strategy.
