AI Libri GmbH AI Applications in Urban Planning Hardcover

For ten thousand years, cities have been deaf. They could not feel their own fevers, hear the pipe about to burst, or sense the failure forming beneath the street. That has changed. For the first time in history, a city can sense itself, model itself, and even sketch its own futures and the implications for everyone who shapes urban life are profound.AI Applications in Urban Planning is the definitive guide to this transformation. Drawing on real deployments from Singapore to Barcelona, Helsinki to Medellín, it moves beyond the hype to show what artificial intelligence is genuinely doing in cities today and what it cannot, and must not, be allowed to do alone.Inside this book, you will discover.How machine learning predicts infrastructure failures, eases congestion, and shortens disaster response - and where it dangerously oversellsWhy data is the new bedrock of the city, and how "data-driven planning" hides political choices in plain sightThe truth about digital twins, predictive policing, surveillance, and algorithmic bias and the governance that separates the just city from the watched oneHow AI data centers are emerging as engines of entirely new urban developmentWhether you are a planner, policymaker, technologist, investor, or student, this book gives you the vocabulary, the case studies, and the judgment to navigate the most consequential shift urban planning has ever faced.
