From Algorithms to Impact: Artificial Intelligence for Resilient Urban Development
Expert event for decision-makers in the field of public services of general interest
Artificial intelligence is already transforming how we plan, design and manage our cities. But what opportunities does it truly offer for sustainable and resilient urban development—and where are the limits?
This expert event brings together leading voices from research, politics and practice.
The focus:
Insights from science and policy: How do researchers and policymakers assess the topic?
Practical examples: Where is AI already adding value—whether in urban logistics or energy management?
Discussion: Which governance issues, risks and future perspectives need to be considered?
Please note that the event will be held in German only!
