Artificial Intelligence for Adaptive and Sustainable Urban Public Spaces

Abstract

The development of information technology and rapid urbanization has encouraged the emergence of the concept of smart cities as a solution to modern urban challenges. One of the important aspects of smart cities is urban public spaces, which function not only as social and cultural means, but also as adaptive infrastructure that can improve the quality of life of its citizens. This article discusses the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the development of smart, efficient, and sustainable urban public spaces. By adopting a precedent study approach through descriptive qualitative research methods, this study examines the implementation of AI in various aspects, such as energy management, adaptive lighting, traffic management, and sensor-based security systems. The results of the study show that AI has the potential to strengthen the efficiency of public space governance, improve citizen experience, and support urban sustainability. However, there are also challenges related to data availability, privacy, and infrastructure needs. This study is expected to make a theoretical and practical contribution to the development of smart public spaces in the future.
