The rapid evolution of artificial intelligence runs on a promise to enhance efficiency, speed and innovation. But what does this mean for cities: for how they are planned, designed, built and managed? How do we ensure these technologies are used intelligently to help us achieve our goal of creating cities that are better for people and the planet?

The first issue of AI for Future Cities focuses on Urban Planning and Design. How are generative AI models changing the work and required competencies of practitioners and decision-makers? What does a city look like that has been shaped by AI? And how do we ensure that AI remains a tool we use intelligently?

Within the publication you will find a range of critical insights from Arup experts and external partners at the University College London, informed speculations about the future, cutting-edge case studies and recommendations on the use of artificial intelligence in the planning and design of our cities.
