We employ both hedonic price and repeat-sales estimation techniques to assure the results are robust. The findings indicate that housing prices, after the light rail transit went into the engineering phase, rose with proximity to anticipated new rail stations but not with proximity to existing metro stations. For planners and policymakers and advocates in Montgomery County, the results provide critical information about where and when value capture and anti-displacement policies are most needed and potentially effective.","PeriodicalId":16793,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Planning Education and Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48011973","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Jourdan","doi":"10.1177/0739456X231154002","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/0739456X231154002","url":null,"abstract":"Urban artificial intelligence (UAI) refers to the development and deployment of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies and solutions in urban settings such as energy management, environmental monitoring, public safety, transportation, and predictive maintenance. Urban research has shifted from a data-scarce to a data-rich environment in recent years. Big data and computational algorithms have become continually integrated into the built environment and within human’s daily lives, leading to a significant rise in digital twin research. Heterogeneous real-time data can be synthesized from a wide range of sources such as sensors and cameras connected to buildings, factories, green spaces, roads, sidewalks, and other urban elements. Defined as a virtual representation of a physical urban environment, digital twins can be employed to analyze, model, and simulate various aspects of urban phenomena in the fine scale. The UAI will take the source data from sensors, satellite imagery, and social media over space, time, and scale as inputs, and generate outputs that typically include predictions or simulations of how urban elements or systems will be affected by these inputs. Powered by UAI, the bi-directional flow of data between a digital twin and the physical urban environment further allows the digital twin to both reflect the current state of the city and make more informed decisions about how to optimize the urban operation (Ye et al. 2022). Furthermore, the revolution of computing power and information technology has blurred the boundary across disciplines and urban applications. Linked with immersive technologies such as virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR), UAI helps people to visualize cities as they change by showing how planning and infrastructure design can alter the urban environment reflecting the diverse perspectives and needs of the community, either positively or negatively. Collaboration across disciplines and stakeholders is often essential for addressing complex urban problems. UAI has the potential to help bridge the silos within design, social, and engineering sciences as well as growing gaps between research and practice, through activities such as citizen science, community-based research, and participatory research. UAI is revolutionizing urban planning education and practice by providing new tools for planners to automate certain tasks and make informed decisions (Sanchez et al. 2022). This allows planners to focus on more creative aspects of their work and efficiently evaluate large amounts of design options, ensuring that the final delivery is an optimized solution. Simultaneously, UAI enables a collective understanding of existing urban conditions and demonstrates innovative capabilities for how to increase cyber, social, and physical resilience and efficacy beyond simple technology integration. However, UAI could possibly exacerbate existing socioeconomic inequities in the built environment if such technical str","PeriodicalId":16793,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Planning Education and Research","volume":"43 1","pages":"6 - 7"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-02-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42135283","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We assessed the development of two large-scale wind projects in Indonesia and the Philippines through a qualitative comparative case study analysis.
