Generative Masterplan
Generative Masterplan in urban design uses computer algorithms to quickly create many different city layouts based on simple rules set by designers. These rules can include things like where to put parks, how wide streets should be, or how close homes are to shops. Designers can change the rules and see new versions of the plan instantly, which helps find the best layout for the area. This method makes it easy to test ideas for things like sunlight, walking paths, or how people move around the city. Generative Masterplan helps designers see the results of their choices right away and supports making cities that work well for everyone.
