AI-Driven Urban Planning: Shaping the Future of Cities presents a comprehensive guide to the transformative potential of artificial intelligence in urban planning. This book equips readers with the knowledge to harness data, analytics, and AI for creating sustainable, equitable, and livable urban environments. Exploring diverse applications-from understanding human mobility patterns to enhancing disaster response strategies and optimizing design processes-the book offers practical projects and illustrates how AI is shaping contemporary urban landscapes. By addressing both theoretical and practical dimensions, this resource aims to empower students, professionals, and policymakers with a holistic understanding of Urban Planning AI. The book is organized into five parts, each tackling crucial aspects of Urban Planning AI. It first introduces core concepts, types, mechanisms, and ethical considerations surrounding AI. Part II then discusses the history of computer applications in urban and regional planning. Part III focuses on AI Applications in Urban Planning, addressing critical domains such as transportation, environmental, housing, economic, participatory, and health and safety planning. Part IV tackles challenges and ethical considerations, emphasizing equity, transparency, and data-related issues. Lastly, Part V explores future pathways of urban planning AI, discussing current trends, future visions, and interdisciplinary approaches essential for effective governance and policy-making. This book serves as an invaluable resource for urban planners, researchers, policymakers, and students, enhancing their understanding of the interplay between AI and urban development. It prepares readers to navigate the complexities of Urban Planning AI. Whether you are an urban planner focusing on sustainability, a student or researcher investigating urban analytics, or a policymaker addressing equity issues, this book will empower you to leverage AI for more resilient and inclusive urban futures.
