GeoAI — the fusion of geospatial technologies (GIS, RS), AI/ML, IoT, and digital sensing — is transforming how nations plan infrastructure, respond to climate change, manage rapid urbanization, and design sustainable development pathways. As climate and urban risks intensify, GeoAI enables smarter decisions in land-use planning, disaster-risk management, climate adaptation, infrastructure provisioning, environmental monitoring, and municipal service delivery. This domain equips learners with strong competencies in spatial analytics, satellite-based observation, digital mapping, risk forecasting, urban modelling, smart-city planning, and climate adaptation analytics for evidence-driven development and governance.
