A comprehensive bibliometric study published in Urban Science analyzes nearly 5,000 research papers to map the evolving role of artificial intelligence in smart cities. From optimizing transportation and energy use to monitoring air quality and enhancing public safety, AI is driving urban innovation across disciplines and continents. With emerging trends like digital twins and blockchain integration, the report also raises key ethical and regulatory considerations that must be addressed for sustainable development.

URBAN AI has launched a six-week 'AI in Urban Planning' program to educate professionals on integrating artificial intelligence into city development. The course covers predictive modeling, generative AI, and regulatory planning, taught by globally recognized experts. Designed for urbanists, policymakers, and real estate professionals, the program aims to shape the future of AI-powered urbanism.
