The Second Workshop on AI for Urban Planning
Jan 26 2027Official workshop site Site reachable
The 2nd Workshop on AI for Urban Planning (AI4UP 2026) brings together researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to explore AI-driven solutions for urban planning challenges, fostering a co-learning paradigm known as the 'New Urban Science.' Held in conjunction with AAAI-2026 in Singapore, the workshop focuses on leveraging multimodal urban data, generative AI, and spatio-temporal modeling to build smarter, more equitable, and sustainable cities.
