The rapid development and application of artificial intelligence (AI) has radically transformed our conception of planning and what the planning profession can achieve. AI has enabled new, and in many cases more accurate, ways to make predictions, more efficient design modeling, and streamlined data gathering. When used appropriately, AI can contribute to more robust decision-making, revealing...
The rapid emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) has strongly impacted various fields, including education, reshaping how students and educators approach knowledge creation and application in urban planning. In planning education, AI is increasingly being integrated into student work, from writing assignments to the visualization of future-oriented studio projects. While this presents vast...
Urban energy systems are undergoing profound structural transformations driven by decarbonization policies, digitalization, and demands for more democratic and inclusive governance. In this context, Positive Energy Districts (PEDs) and Local Energy Communities (LEC) have emerged as key paradigms in the pursuit of climate-neutral cities. PEDs aim to generate more energy than they consume...
As artificial intelligence continues to reshape industries and societies, the field of urban planning stands at a transformative crossroads. In this presentation, Paulo Silva will explore the integration of AI into planning education, emphasizing its potential to revolutionize both pedagogical approaches and practical applications. By addressing questions such as how planners can harness AI to...
Teaching planning in architecture education plays a pivotal role in equipping future architects with the skills and knowledge necessary to address complex spatial, environmental, and social challenges. Integrating planning principles into architecture curricula becomes essential as contemporary architecture increasingly intersects with urban planning, sustainability, and technological...
