During the presentation, we will offer planners a comprehensive toolkit to address the challenges and seize the opportunities presented by AI in urban planning, while maintaining a strong ethical foundation. Through real-world case studies and interactive discussions, attendees will gain practical insights into identifying and mitigating ethical concerns, combating biases, and ensuring the responsible use of AI tools.

Our session will offer practical methods for seamlessly integrating AI into planning processes, such as predictive modelling for transportation infrastructure and data-driven community engagement strategies. By instilling ethical considerations into these methods, we empower planners to make informed decisions that uphold integrity.

Furthermore, we'll emphasize the impact on planning equity and inclusivity. Attendees will learn how AI can help uncover hidden disparities and support targeted interventions in underserved communities. By spotlighting successful initiatives that have leveraged AI to drive equitable development, we will inspire attendees to think creatively about their own projects.

With a focus on actionable takeaways, our presentation aims to empower planners with tangible strategies to navigate the evolving planning landscape. By embracing AI responsibly, attendees will be well-equipped to enact effective change, advance inclusive community planning, and forge ahead towards a future where cities thrive for all residents.
