Dear Colleagues, Friends, and Academic and Professional/ Research Communities,
I am delighted to share that a newly published and highly timely paper, entitled “Artificial Intelligence Revolution in Urban Planning: A 30‑Year Journey – A Review,” has been selected by Emerald Publishing to be available for free download for the next month.
The originality of this study lies in its critical linking of AI’s technical evolution with its wider socio‑political consequences. Its significance is demonstrated in showing how digital transformation is not merely reshaping planning tools, but is fundamentally reconfiguring the planning discipline itself — in ways that are context‑sensitive, inclusive, resilient, and ethically grounded.
Please see the link below for further information, and feel free to share or forward this post with colleagues and others who may be interested in, or concerned with, the role of AI in urban planning.
