Abstract
In an era defined by rapid urbanization, the effective planning and
management of cities have become paramount to ensure sustainable
development, efficient resource allocation, and enhanced quality of life
for residents. Traditional methods of urban planning and management
are grappling with the complexities and challenges presented by modern
cities. Enter Artificial Intelligence (AI), a disruptive technology that holds
immense potential to revolutionize the way cities are planned, designed,
and operated.
The primary aim of this report is to provide an in-depth exploration of the
multifaceted role that Artificial Intelligence plays in modern city planning
and management. Through a comprehensive analysis of key AI
applications, case studies, challenges, and ethical considerations, the
report aims to provide resources for urban planners, City staff, and
elected officials responsible for community planning and development.
These include a model City policy, draft informational public meeting
format, AI software and applications, implementation actions, AI
timeline, glossary, and research references. This report represents the
cumulative efforts of many participants and is sponsored by the City of
Salem and Sustainable City Year Program. The Green Cities AI project
website is at: https://blogs.uoregon.edu/artificialintelligence/.
As cities continue to evolve into complex ecosystems, the integration of
Artificial Intelligence stands as a pivotal force in shaping their
trajectories. Through this report, we aim to provide a comprehensive
understanding of how AI is transforming the way cities are planned,
operated, and experienced. By analyzing the tools, applications, and
ethical considerations, we hope to equip policymakers, urban planners,
and stakeholders with the insights needed to navigate the AI-driven
urban landscape effectively and create cities that are not only smart but
also sustainable, resilient, and regenerative.
