The future of urban planning technology

Hailed as tools of energy efficiency and convenience, smart houses and cars have dominated the tech landscape for the past few years. Now, this trend of technological integration is spreading to other industries such as urban planning. In fact, more and more urban planning experts are imagining technologically advanced smart cities that utilize automation and machine learning to provide resources to residents, restructure transportation, and improve the quality of life.

Let’s take a look at how urban planning technology is being used to revolutionize our cities. 

Investing now for life tomorrow

Many people consider smart cities the future of urban planning and anticipate big changes being made to the way we interact with our environment. Projections suggest that two thirds of the world’s population will live in cities by 2050. As a result, it’s crucial to install the appropriate technology now to ensure that cities can properly serve their populations even as they continue to rise.

Early “smart cities” were conceived by using cluster analysis and aerial photography to collect data. Today, the collaboration between artificial intelligence and big data collected by individuals and their devices can improve access to services for city residents and provide information about the weather, pedestrian density, and power usage in their area. Furthermore, these tools can be used to streamline transportation by managing traffic and improving the reliability and availability of public transit. Smart cities also hope to move toward a more sustainable future by detecting public energy usage and reducing waste accordingly.
