Walkscapes Labs

Walkscapes Labs operates as the research and development component of Walkscapes Studio. In this capacity, it dives into the exploration of advanced technologies, with a particular emphasis on the potential of artificial intelligence. By integrating AI with urban analytics, the lab aspires to bring about a transformation in the methodologies employed in urban planning and design.

Walkscapes Labs, with its focus on AI, is reshaping the paradigm of urban design and planning. Through tools like the Visual Blight Detector and the Public Life Simulator, the lab offers solutions that not only identify and address urban challenges but also predict and facilitate better urban futures.

Public Life Simulator

The Public Life Simulator is developed to perform as a ‘virtual living laboratory’ that visualises people’s spatial behaviour in public spaces. It can be used to visualise, assess, and evaluate the various urban design scenarios based on the different urban qualities as well as by predicting future urban activities that can occur.

Visual Blight Detector

An AI-powered platform that identifies visual blight in urban areas. It swiftly detects unsightly elements in streets, building façades, and open spaces. The platform not only points out issues but also suggests design improvements, helping urban planners and architects enhance aesthetics and functionality.
