One ESRI demonstration showed a dashboard based approach to urban planning that is similar to the concept of a BIM dashboard that Autodesk has talked about. The scenario was the redevelopment of a neighborhood in Detroit to make it greener, and the use of different drawing tools for green areas, multi-family housing, streetscapes, etc. were immediately reflected in a pie chart to show the designer the balance of their improvements. This integrated and simultaneous analysis draws on the full capacity of GIS as GeoDesign is not just about drawing future scenarios.

Also, Open Street Map already provides non-expert tools to map stuff - at the moment, this is mirror-mapping the real world. But these tools could also be used to map the world "inside the mirror" - the world someone may envision. Does that leave the right side of the equation for GIS professionals to provide tools that do all the automatic analysis, showing effects and providing suggestions for improvement bit?

Did Goodchild suggest any example use cases for non-expert GeoDesign? Interesting post. Did Goodchild suggest any example use cases for non-expert GeoDesign?
