Chapter 5 of A Framework for Geodesign: Changing Geography By Design p
resents an overwhelming amount of complex theoretical information. I have therefore tried to distill the most essential elements of the second iteration of the framework in the lesson narrative, and included a video of Dr. Steinitz talking through some of the trickier aspects of the framework’s second iteration.
- Explain the goals of the second and third iterations of the geodesign framework.
- Explain the difference between demand-based and supply-based strategies.
- Outline a methodology for a geodesign study.
- Select the appropriate design for a geodesign project
- Watch Why Geodesign?

Here, Dr. Steinitz presents and overview of the Framework (as a refresher) and describes various Change Model strategies. Follow along by reviewing Chapter 5 of A Framework for Geodesign: Changing Geography By Design

- In your own AOI, are you aiming primarily to protect something from a damaging influence, or change something to a different and better state?
- For each of the two case studies you are assigned to read this week, how would you characterize the proposed change strategy? Is it defensive or offensive? Anticipatory or exploratory? How do the goals of each influence the chosen strategy?
