UrbanistAI is a one-of-a-kind platform that is tailored to help urban planners engage with citizens and stakeholders, turning them into active collaborators in the urban design process.

UrbanistAI provides users with an immersive experience by inviting them to upload photographs of public spaces and share their innovative ideas. For each uploaded image, UrbanistAI rapidly produces photorealistic visualizations based on users’ input, offering multiple variations to select from. Users can seamlessly refine the results until their ideal vision for the public space materializes, shaping the future of their city one snapshot at a time.

With UrbanistAI, participants don’t need a design degree to contribute meaningfully to discussions about their environment’s future. Our platform empowers individuals to convey their ideas through the universal language of images, dismantling the barriers posed by technical jargon in urban planning, architecture, and real estate development.

UrbanistAI serves as a dynamic tool for enlivening participatory planning workshops, city transformation brainstorming sessions, and design sprints. It’s also an ideal solution for setting up engaging interactive displays in exhibition areas, effortlessly harnessing the collective wisdom and insights of the community.
