The Handbook of AI and Urban Planning edited by Thomas W. Sanchez (twsanchez@tamu.edu)
Introduction
The Handbook of AI and Urban Planning will provide a comprehensive and practice-oriented guide to the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into the field of urban planning. As cities become increasingly complex and data-rich, AI offers a broad range of tools to support analysis, design, decision-making, and community engagement. This edited volume will bring together contributions from scholars, practitioners, and technologists to explore how AI is being applied across a range of planning domains—from land use modeling and mobility systems to participatory planning and governance. While the focus is on practical applications, the book will also address the broader implications of AI, including ethical concerns, institutional readiness, and the evolving role of the planner. By providing real-world examples, emerging technologies, and global perspectives, the volume will provide urban planners, students, and researchers with fundamentals and examples helpful for engaging with AI as a tool for planning.
