Turn urban data into decisions. Master QGIS, spatial analysis and AI-aided mapping in 6 weeks, built for urban planners
Co-produced by The GeoSpatial Hub and All Things Urban.
Most GIS tutorials are generic. This course isn't: every tool, dataset and exercise is chosen for how urban professionals actually work: planning, site analysis, mobility, real estate, consultancy.
In 6 weeks you go from any starting level to running your own spatial analysis in QGIS, with AI-aided workflows built into the programme.
You finish with a portfolio-ready project, a certificate, and skills you can apply at work right away.
For this edition, we updated the programme with new classes and materials on AI-assisted spatial workflows, built on the GIS fundamentals professionals need to use these tools confidently and critically.
GIS is increasingly becoming a core skill in urban work. Stronger GIS capabilities help professionals build a more technical profile and can strengthen earning potential by 10 to 15%.
Because we work closely with a large urban-professionals community, we see this demand early: employers increasingly look for spatial analysis skills across planning, mobility, real estate and policy roles.
The updated course edition introduces AI-assisted workflows for spatial analysis. Learn the GIS logic needed to use LLMs and map-connected AI tools confidently and critically. AI can speed up data preparation and mapping, but interpretation and decisions remain yours. Want to go deeper afterwards? A dedicated advanced AI programme follows this course.
Zoning, site analysis, data-driven planning.
Traffic data, routes, sustainable mobility.
Market trends and opportunities, seen spatially.
Decisions based on precise spatial data.
Enter the urban sector job-ready.
Uncover the spatial patterns in your research.

More than 400 urban professionals from over 45 countries have graduated from this programme, and 96% recommend it. Here they are, in their own words.
The updated 2026 programme, taught live, recorded for life and built around real urban cases.
What GIS is and why it drives spatial decisions. Vector and raster data, sourcing data, first spatial analysis (ESDA) and a real Liverpool case study. Then set up QGIS: basemaps, layers, projections.
Master the attribute table, statistics and data exploration. Create and edit layers, use geometry tools, and style your data, from single symbols to categorized maps and heatmaps.
The advanced toolbox: geoprocessing (buffer, clip, intersection), overlap and statistical analysis, joining and splitting datasets, and richer visualizations including 3D.
Field Calculator, expressions and data-driven styling, with AI assisting where it adds real value. You stay in charge of the analysis. Plus exporting and essential plugins.
Recreate a full analysis methodology: assess the development potential of an urban area using multilayer and statistical analysis in QGIS.
Extra time to catch up and bring your final questions from the whole course. Pre-submit them and we answer every single one, live and in the recording.
Complete your portfolio project with written feedback from the professor (plus a 1:1 review call on Premium). Feedback comes within 2 weeks of submission, together with your certificate.
