Architects and planners are now using AI to design urban environments—including zoning layouts, wind flow modeling, and energy optimization. AI models simulate pedestrian traffic, solar exposure, and heat islands—helping cities optimize liveability before ground is broken.
This post explores collaborations between urban planners, AI firms, and government agencies, as well as design tools that create multiple city layouts based on sustainability criteria. It also addresses transparency, public participation, and ethical planning. In the future, cities will be designed by intelligence as much as by architects.
