This course, Introduction to Geography, defines the discipline as the study of Earth + People + Space (Geographia = Earth writing), moving beyond mere map-making.

The core objective is to differentiate and explore the two major branches: Physical Geography (focusing on Earth's systems, climate, and natural forces) and Human Geography (focusing on population, culture, economy, and political systems).

The latter half of the course introduces Systems Thinking to analyze urban complexity and focuses on practical applications like designing Urban Resilience—building robust and adaptable cities that can mitigate and recover from disasters and climate change impacts.
