Abstract

Wide access to large volumes of urban big data and artificial intelligence (AI)-based tools allow performing new analyses that were previously impossible due to the lack of data or their high aggregation. This paper aims to assess the possibilities of the use of urban big data analytics based on AI-related tools to support the design and planning of cities. To this end, the author introduces a conceptual framework to assess the influence of the emergence of these tools on the design and planning of the cities in the context of urban change. In this paper, the implications of the application of artificial-intelligence-based tools and geo-localised big data, both in solving specific research problems in the field of urban planning and design as well as on planning practice, are discussed. The paper is concluded with both cognitive conclusions and recommendations for planning practice. It is directed towards urban planners interested in the emerging urban big data analytics based on AI-related tools and towards urban theorists working on new methods of describing urban change.

  • ANN, Deep Neural Network (DNN), SVM, GA, LR, and DT are among the prominent AI techniques that gained strong traction in recent years, as are ML, DL, and cognitive AI models in relation to the planning and development of smart cities.

    “As consistent with the findings for the second and third periods, ANN, Deep Neural Network (DNN), SVM, GA, LR, and DT are among the prominent AI techniques that gained strong traction in recent years (Şerban and Lytras 2020; Shrestha and Mahmood 2019), so are ML, DL, and cognitive AI models in relation to the planning and development of smart cities (Kamrowska-Załuska 2021; Şerban and Lytras 2020”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
