Great video. I've just graduated with a B.A. in Geography and Urban studies from a large public university. My professors told me over and over again how valuable a skill GIS is for people in my field, but I wasn't able to take any legitimate GIS courses during my education. Anyone want to chime in with info as to how valuable GIS skills are to accessing a broader range of planning professions? Thanks.

Excellent video. I LOVE maps. I took geography in High school. but I wanted to take history at college. I should have done geography at college instead!!!!

@Snrof05 8 лет назад

LOL! Same boat. I ended up with a history degree and a minor in geography. I so regret that decision. I'm now applying for masters in geoscience so that I can pursue a career in GIS.

What is the public health aspect of pedestrians being able to walk comfortably?

@ConnectEdNational 8 лет назад

Great question--hopefully a public health and safety expert will chime in here, too. In the meantime the best answer we can give (we are the video production team, not experts in public health!) is that pedestrian safety is of the utmost importance especially in large urban areas. Bad planning can lead to thousands more roadway deaths per year. Good planning and infrastructure can keep the number of injuries and the death toll down. You can't completely stop accidents but you can lower the number and make certain things less likely to occur. (ob)

Also, watch the video at 1:45 when Wesley is talking about making the right conditions to encourage people to walk/get exercise.

Did your teacher tell you to watch this video or did you find it on your own? (If your teacher told you to watch it, what teacher at what school?!)
