AI in designing better cities
Chanuki Seresinhe, University of Warwick,
Dr. Stephen Law, University College London,
It seems evident that the design of the built environment influences many aspects of our lives; this is only amplified by urban environments. For example, design features such as the height of the ceiling or the arrangement of windows can influence the amount of natural light that enters a home and therefore the well-being of its residents. In a city, the placement and density of landmarks can affect the city's legibility, accessibility, and infrastructure. However, so far the discussion about which urban design features lead to better cities has been largely theoretical, supported quantitatively only by small-scale studies. Our cities have thus been developed with limited quantitative insights into how the design of their buildings and infrastructure can affect residents. We used recent advances in computer vision and deep learning to understand salient design features of the built environment and how they influence key aspects of urban planning, such as economic progress, transportation and residential wellbeing. Two case studies are presented: the first concerns measuring perceptions of built environments, such as beauty and its link to well-being; the second concerns specific features of the urban environment, such as the facade of buildings and estimating the relationship with house prices. Quantifying aspects of urban design at scale is critical to helping build scientific evidence to design more socially cohesive and economically prosperous cities.
