The book explains nascent applications of AI technologies in urban design and city planning, providing a thorough overview of AI-based solutions. It offers a framework for discussion of theoretical foundations of AI, AI applications in the urban design, AI-based research and information systems, and AI-based generative design systems.
The concept of AI generates unprecedented city planning solutions without defined rules in advance, a development raising important questions issues for urban design and city planning. This book articulates current theoretical and practical methods, offering critical views on tools and techniques and suggests future directions for the meaningful use of AI technology.
- Includes a cutting-edge catalogue of AI tools applied to smart city design and planning
- Provides case studies from around the globe at various scales
- Includes diagrams and graphics for course instruction
Future city, smart city, AI, urban design technologies, city planning, civil engineers, city planners, and urban designers
