Urban Morphology in the Age of Artificial Intelligence – ISUF Torino 2025
URBAN MORPHOLOGY IN THE AGE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
The conference "Urban Morphology in the Age of Artificial Intelligence" invites researchers and practitioners to explore how AI technologies (in all forms) are transforming the study of urban forms, spatial structures, and city dynamics. It also raises the question: How do contemporary and emerging tools influence the evolution of urban form and the practice of urban morphology?
THE URBAN FORM BETWEEN TRADITION AND NEW CHALLENGES
While the question of urban form can be answered through various definitions, it is important to note that in the twenty-first century, artificial intelligence has opened new avenues for both tools and the concept of urban form, which have yet to be fully explored. As AI becomes increasingly prevalent in urban analysis and planning, it is vital to examine not only its potential but also its limitations, ethical considerations, and broader socio-spatial impacts. We encourage papers that address AI from a reflective perspective, considering how it reshapes our understanding of urban forms and urban life, as well as how urban professionals can respond to its challenges and opportunities.
How do these advancements challenge or reinforce traditional urban morphology, and what new paradigms are emerging as a result?
ISUF 2025 encourages further investigation into these transformative influences and their implications for the future of urban morphology and its impact on design, research and pedagogy.
