Algorithmic Zoning is a way to use computer rules to help decide how land in a city can be used, like where homes, shops, or parks should go. In city planning, this method can quickly test many ideas for how to arrange buildings and open spaces, making it easier to see which plans fit best with goals like keeping neighborhoods green or making sure people can walk to stores. Designers can use these digital rules to make maps that change in real time as new information comes in, such as how many people live in an area or how much sunlight a park gets during the day. This helps city planners make choices that match what people need and want, using up-to-date data.
