What are examples of using Artificial Neural Network (ANN) in urbanism and architecture?

  • Urbanism and architecture work with huge various parameters which come from environment, urban landscape, traffic, citizens and etc. How ANN can help to make solutions for architects and urbanists?

  • Answer:

    For a problem like this where you want optimization to take place. Some variables you would want to maximize like recreation, and safety and some you would want to minimize like cost, driving distances, crime, etc other variables. For these kind of problems you need to build a mathematical model similar to what is done in SIM City.  Once you have your mathematical model build and you can enter parameters for several real cities and adjust our model to reflect the living conditions you perceive in those cities.  Then you could use the Monte Carlo method or a genetic algorithm to alter the parameters in the model to attempt to maximize and minimize the results that you care about.  For the Genetic Algorithm base your fitness function on how much the output values increase or decrease in the direction you want them to.

Three scenarios:   Can ANN be used to predict urban growth?  Yes, but not yet.  Several groups around the world are at the stage of building models with ANN and using them to predict growth rates and patterns.  Results are mixed.   Can ANN be used to control urban growth?  Yes, but not yet.  Current models are not good enough to use for this purpose.   Or can ANN is used to manage utilities and services on a day-to-day  or minute-to-minute basis?  Yes, some cities are moving toward controlling the traffic control lights to allow emergency vehicles to travel arteries more quickly.
