**How do you turn spatial data into something people actually understand and act on?** This intensive course focuses on one of the most overlooked skills in urban practice: communicating spatial insights clearly and effectively. Moving beyond technical analysis, you’ll learn how to translate data into narratives that inform decisions across policy, design, research, and public communication. **What you will learn** - How to translate spatial analysis into clear, actionable insights - How to design maps with visual clarity, hierarchy, and purpose - How to structure compelling narratives around data, place, and audience - How to communicate findings to non-technical stakeholders **Course format** - Short, intensive online programme - Practical exercises and real-world examples - Focus on application, not just theory **Why this course** In many projects, the challenge is not the analysis itself, but how it is communicated. This course helps you bridge that gap, turning data into insights that can influence decisions, stakeholders, and real outcomes. **Join the waitlist** Sign up to receive course dates, full programme details, and early access before the May launch.
