The promise of geodesign when used in a digital environment differs from traditional design done digitally in the way it can be implemented. Traditionally, digital design involves the direct allocation of land uses to build a plan or the application of spatial optimization models. The workflow is based on drawing and digitization of plan objects which constitute a design in a serial fashion, and once these are drawn they are then evaluated for performance. What makes geodesign fundamentally different from a traditional design process is the workflow, the process of creating a design. Geodesign is normally a collaborative enterprise, in which computers respond to changes in design as the various stakeholders are building it. The ability to create a design collaboratively and rapidly measure its impacts as the team proceeds, fast iteration in rapid design cycles through several improving versions of a design, and the use of a digital platform for collaboration and communication form the basis of the geodesign workflow. These are significant ways in which geodesign workflow differs significantly from a traditional one.
