Tackling global climate change requires the broad involvement and commitment of different sectors of society: from specialist technical knowledge to the daily actions of citizens who also do their part. However, the big challenge is to level the conversation so that public policies are implemented to be adopted by the citizen in their particular unit, so that the sum of the actions makes a difference. And surgical action actions are also chosen, resulting from technical knowledge and resulting in specific interventions that generate a radiating effect of results. Policies and projects negotiated and understood by different sectors of society. For this process to happen, Geodesign proposes that the conversation be qualified, through the presentation of goals and assumptions, so that it works based on best practice references. Geodesign is a method initially presented by researchers such as Ervin (2011), Miller (2012), Steinitz (2012), Dangermond (2010), Batty (2013), Fisher (2017), who applied shared planning procedures with the support of geospatial technologies. Given the knowledge about a case study, itineraries were then proposed to collectively build alternative futures for the areas, always analyzing the impacts on decisions, and verifying the goals to be achieved. Planning happens “with” and “for” geography, discussing “what”, where”, “when”, “how much” and “how” to transform the territory. The lecture will be totally illustrated by case studies developed.
