A Framework for Developing Scalable Geodesign Products

Abstract

Geodesign is an urban planning methodology which combines the traditionally separate tasks of landscape planning, site planning, and geo-graphic analysis and combines them through automated software flows. Through combining these elements, a user is able to gain a more complete picture of the operational environment. This paper describes a new geodesign product, ENSITE, which was developed to assist military planners in the siting of contingency bases. This paper outlines the four aspects which made this product successful a team of diverse subject matter experts, global data, a flexible back end, and rapid development.
