For instance, AI could potentially create a better city plan than a human, just by using real-time GIS data. This data could be acquired from CCTVs across the city using object recognition.
However, more detailed surveys are still required, and this job is centralized. People don't build their own cities, except in Cities Skylines. So, I think AI would assist city planners, but not fully replace them, at least not yet.
AI will allow for huge reductions in workload related to paperwork and processes that are slow and redundant. It will also improve inefficient in-person communication.
Anything can happen, and mistakes in urban planning using AI can be incredibly devastating. This can be likened to a highway construction fiasco with pseudoscience calculations and appeals to popularity or authority.
Reality can be very messy when AI can meet up, made even worse by human errors.
