The 'GIS for Urban Planning' course was a great learning experience for me. I'm from Japan, and I was interested in learning more about how GIS can be used in urban planning. The course covered a wide range of topics, from the basics of GIS to more advanced concepts like spatial analysis and mapping. I found the course materials to be well-organized and easy to follow, and the instructor was knowledgeable and responsive to questions. One of the things that I found particularly useful was the section on data visualization - I learned how to create interactive maps and dashboards that can be used to communicate complex data insights to stakeholders. Overall, I'm satisfied with the course and would recommend it to others who are interested in learning about GIS for urban planning.
