AI for Cities
My ongoing research focuses on OpenAI, GeoAI and Location Intelligence (LI) for addressing urban challenges. OpenAI tools support the innovative application of artificial intelligence in cities. GeoAI integrates geospatial data with AI techniques using Python, KNIME and other computational platforms. Location Intelligence applies AI within GIS to generate meaningful spatial insights and support smarter, evidence-based solutions for urban planning and management.
