A Learn Lesson is a step-by-step tutorial that uses a real-world scenario to introduce key ArcGIS tools and workflows. Here's a roundup of new lessons in the Learn ArcGIS Gallery that have appeared in the last month.

Climateproof a Neighborhood with ArcGIS Urban (ArcGIS Urban)

You will learn how to integrate ArcGIS Urban and climate-proof planning, by focusing on the redevelopment of a neighborhood in Amsterdam. The Marktkwartier neighborhood used to host a large food market and it is now in the process of being redeveloped to become a residential district to include around 1,700 housing units. The goal of the development plan is to maintain the historical monuments, such as the central market hall, while developing a livable, sustainable area around it.

Track virus spread with ArcGIS Insights (ArcGIS Insights)

A community is experiencing an outbreak of an infectious disease. As a contact tracer for the local public health office, you must use the case data to determine where the disease spread, who requires testing, and which cases require further investigation. You will use ArcGIS Insights to create charts and apply nonspatial analytical techniques to track the spread of the virus.

Analyze demand for hospital capacity and highlight areas of risk (ArcGIS Insights)

Typically, hospitals and other health-care facilities in the United States have between 25 percent and 75 percent bed occupancy at any given time. As an epidemic grows, the demand for hospital beds may outpace the supply. In this lesson, you will use ArcGIS Insights to analyze the supply of health-care beds in the United States. You will also use early projections of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic to estimate how many more beds each state might need to meet the demand. You will work with local spreadsheet data and data from ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World. You will use the mapping and charting capabilities of ArcGIS Insights to get a clear picture of the hospital bed availability issue and locate high-risk areas for bed shortages during the pandemic.

Plan for urban change in Cancún (ArcGIS Urban)

Parque de la Equidad is a current urban planning project in Cancún, Mexico. Existing open space will be converted into a 16-kilometer public park running through the city. Stakeholders want to increase access to green spaces and reduce urban segregation and social inequality. In this lesson, you'll use ArcGIS Urban to design changes along one segment of the new park and visualize their effects. You'll focus on one small area, but you'll use a workflow that can be repeated to design more scenarios, and to plan for other strategic areas along the park.

Visualize ecological marine units with voxels (ArcGIS Pro)

The Ecological Marine Units (EMU) are a clustering of the 3D volumetric regions of the world's oceans that help us better understand and, by association, conserve marine environments. In this lesson, you'll transform a subset of the global EMU point feature class dataset into a multidimensional NetCDF file. You'll use this NetCDF file to visualize the EMU variables such as seawater temperature, salinity, or dissolved oxygen as a multidimensional voxel layer in ArcGIS Pro. The EMU voxel layer allows you to visualize the complexities of the world's oceans in their distinctive 3D nature.

New Learn Paths

A Learn Path is sequenced set of resources for learning about a particular topic. Here's a roundup of new paths in the Learn ArcGIS Gallery that have appeared in the last month.
