This article published in Planning Magazine explores how AI can change planning practice through the exploration of applications of computer vision (a sub-domain of AI). This article focuses on applications of computer vision that can most facilitate better planning and design: digitizing the built environment at scale, reimagining urban observation, and empirically evaluating the impacts of changes to the built environment. Beyond these applications, the article ends with a reflection on challenges related to these technologies such as bias and privacy concerns, and what planners can do to responsibly leverage these emerging AI-enabled technologies.
