The UP 347 Junior level workshop built the essential technical skills expected for success in the urban planning profession. The course focused on applying these skills to real-world planning scenarios with Park Ridge, IL being used as the primary study area. Throughout the semester, I developed a strong understanding of urban analysis and cartography. I utilized a multitude of industry tools (ArcGIS Pro, Adobe Illustrator & InDesign) along with learning the basis of manual drafting.
