GeoDesign - Approximations of a catch phrase

The paper discusses methodologically the term Geodesign'. The history of the term is illustrated by three approaches which can be considered as complementarily covering the broad meaning of the term. A classification scheme for the description of Geodesign outcomes leads to the description of product-lines according to the purpose and function of Geodesign. The authors suggest to consider,Geodesign' a collaboration and convergence program between geo-science and the design of spatial visions.
