AI Urban Planning Assistant

UrbIA (Urban Intelligence Agent) is an AI platform bridging fragmented city data and actionable decisions. Built on complex systems principles, UrbIA treats cities as M³ systems—Multilayer, Multiscale, and Multimodal—integrating semantic, spatial, and temporal reasoning in a unified framework. Specialized AI agents work in concert: for example, one searches regulations, another analyzes infrastructure spatially, a third visualizes results. Together they integrate information from separate municipal systems without requiring consolidation.
For Tallinn, UrbIA will deliver three core functions:
• Investment Prioritization Calculator: Scores projects analyzing construction site data—traffic, utilities, demographics
• Maintenance Management Intelligence: Identifies infrastructure needs based on age, condition, usage, and inspection history
• Urban Vision Layer: Interprets street imagery, orthophotos, LiDAR, measured (owned by the city or publicly available) and predicted microclimatic data and satellite data for infrastructure assessment including green infrastructure.
Officials query conversationally—”Which neighborhoods need pedestrian improvements?” or “What maintenance fits this year’s budget?”—receiving transparent, explainable answers tracing to source data. The human-centered interface requires no specialized training, ensuring accessibility for both technical staff and decision-makers.
