Artificial Intelligence (AI) Integration in Urban Decision-Making Processes: Convergence and Divergence with the Multi-Criteria Analysis (MCA)

The dynamics underpinning the urban landscape change are primarily driven by social, economic, and environmental issues. Owing to the population’s fluctuating needs, a new and dual perspective of urban space emerges. The Artificial Intelligence (AI) of a territory, or the system of technical diligen...

description The dynamics underpinning the urban landscape change are primarily driven by social, economic, and environmental issues. Owing to the population’s fluctuating needs, a new and dual perspective of urban space emerges. The Artificial Intelligence (AI) of a territory, or the system of technical diligence associated with the anthropocentric world, makes sense in the context of this temporal mismatch between territorial processes and utilitarian apparatus. This creates cerebral connections between several concurrent decision-making systems, leading to numerous perspectives of the same urban environment, often filtered by the people whose interests direct the information flow till the transformability. In contrast to the conventional methodologies of decision analysis, which are employed to facilitate convenient judgments between alternative options, innovative Artificial Intelligence tools are gaining traction as a means of more effectively evaluating and selecting fast-track solutions. The study’s goal is to investigate the cross-functional relationships between Artificial Intelligence (AI) and current decision-making support systems, which are increasingly being used to interpret urban growth and development from a multi-dimensional perspective, such as a multi-criteria one. Individuals in charge of administering and governing a territory will gain from artificial intelligence techniques because they will be able to test resilience and responsibility in decision-making circumstances while also responding fast and spontaneously to community requirements. The study evaluates current grading techniques and recommends areas for future upgrades via the lens of the potentials afforded by AI technology to the establishment of digitization pathways for technological advancements in the urban valuation.
