Interactive evidence explorer
Navigate the urban AI landscape
Follow a domain to its tools, primary studies and review papers. Open any record to see the description and source. Explore the tools and research collected across the different urban domains.
◎ Select nodes to explore
Map connections show only grouping by urban domain and source record type. They do not imply direct relationships between individual tools and publications. The map presents the records included in this collection.

Evidence dashboard
Explore how tools and scientific publications are distributed across urban domains. Click chart elements to open the underlying records in the catalogue.
Recorded inventory status
Tool status and provenance labels as recorded in inventory v6 — not a ranked maturity scale.
Selected scientific publications by year
Year distribution among the 202 selected publications, not annual output for the wider research field.
Interpretation: Counts describe the sources included in this collection. They do not establish prevalence, effectiveness, technological maturity or total research activity across urban domains. A review paper is not treated as a separate solution.
Tools inventory · Version 6
From domain to method to purpose
This Sankey is built from the 43 inventory entries only, using their recorded primary urban domain, AI / analytical method and purpose. Select a node or flow to inspect the exact entries behind it.
Flow width represents the number of entries. “Not specified” means the AI/analytical method field is empty. “Other” remains the original inventory category. Secondary classifications are not used in this plot. A flow indicates shared labels, not that the method has been independently validated.

Traceable references · Early mapping
Evidence connections
Explore cases where a selected primary study explicitly names a tool or software framework in the reviewed scientific literature. These are descriptive links, not proof of effectiveness or complete bibliographic coverage.

How to read this: A “Solution described” link identifies a publication whose evidence record names the solution. “Software used” means the software is explicitly mentioned in the method, inputs or validation description. “Related software framework” indicates an explicit compatibility reference. These do not imply that the paper verifies the current inventory entry, endorses the product or establishes real-world deployment. Other tools may have relevant research not captured by this first mapping.

Our research approach
We carried out a state-of-the-art literature review using Scopus and Web of Science Core Collection, covering research published from 2018 to September 2026, together with citation tracking and complementary sources.
The review looks beyond technical methods to consider practical applications, decision-support capabilities, validation and limitations.
From research to urban decisions
Urban AI is valuable when its outputs help people make decisions. This collection highlights applications ranging from forecasting and monitoring to simulation, scenario analysis, optimization and participatory planning.
Where available, the entries also describe how solutions have been tested or used in practice.
Open access & updates
The full catalogue will be available to download through Zenodo, supporting open access and reuse.
The collection can be updated with new tools, publications and supporting references as research and applications evolve.
