“…Technological advances are also being appropriated by planning's cognate profession of urban design (Arefi and Al-Dourib, 2016). Ferrandino (2014) has written about how a GIS, as an interdisciplinary pedagogical tool, has also been incorporated in Masters of Public Administration (MPA) programs. Safety and homeland security agencies are also utilizing new technologies to improve safety conditions in cities.…”

The societal transformations facilitated in part by geospatial design technological advances have brought new challenges to territorial planning. This paper analyzes the evolution of geospatial design and planning education in the United States by emphasizing the criticality of sustainable transportation planning in facilitating the partial resolution of some of the land usetransportation problems commonly found in environmental justice communities. The paper is in six parts. Part one is a review of geospatial design and planning education in the United States. Part two progresses from education to desired planning skills and a smart cities' framework. Part three is an overview of the dilemmas found in environmental justice communities. Part four explains why technology based on vehicles alone will not create more sustainable transportation. Part five is the case study of an environmental justice community in Albany, New York. Finally, part six makes some concluding remarks.

“…Using geographic information systems (GIS) maps to capture rich contextual playspace information with historical, intercultural material. The demand for geospatial skills is growing and expanding to areas beyond geography (Gerwin, 2004;Sinton 2009), crime mapping in public affairs (Ferrandino, 2014) to business. Gerwin (2004) highlights higher education institutions' role in preparing students with information geodemographics, spatial data infrastructure, and spatial analysis.…”

Curricula content and structure that encourages interdisciplinary learning, inter-level organization, cross-institutional study supports innovation and inspires new ideas about curricular design in higher education. The purpose of this article is to discuss a collaborative effort of two classes on different campuses to map play in the culturally diverse Cedar-Riverside neighborhood of the Twin Cities. Using technology to create geospatially situated digital visual stories about play was an effective mechanism for facilitating interdisciplinary learning, ethics, learner autonomy and dialogue. Cross-institutional pedagogical strategies shifted as we adjusted to the realities of the physical space, weather conditions, ethical and intercultural considerations.

“…Geographic Information Systems have been recognized has an interdisciplinary tool, despite it reduced pedagogical integration [16]. Those tools have the capability to capture, store, analyse, visualize, and communicate geospatial data.…”

The teaching and learning process can be enhanced by Information and Communication Technologies which became a priority in the education process. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have the ability to deal with space and time information allowing, for example, to deeply understand location, relations or patterns. Geospatial technologies have seen an unprecedented growth in the last decade. Indeed fewer basic education schools are using them to promote spatial or technological skills. This text/research aims to discuss employability skills, attitudes and behaviours of 36 ten years old students coming from unstructured families of a deprived territory. The authors explore a practical example of the application of GIS in the teaching/learning process of primary education students.Simultaneously, the authors demonstrate the potential of those technologies to enlarge interdisciplinary analysis.
