• Abstract summary: This paper presents an agent-based model that characterizes citizens' behavioural patterns with respect to housing and mobility choice. The realistic identification and representation of the criteria that affect this decision-making process will help understand and evaluate the impacts of potential housing incentives.

• Abstract: As cities become increasingly populated, urban planning plays a key role in ensuring the equitable and inclusive development of metropolitan areas. MIT City Science group created a data-driven tangible platform, CityScope, to help different stakeholders, such as government representatives, urban planners, developers, and citizens, collaboratively shape the urban scenario through the real-time impact analysis of different urban interventions. This paper presents an agent-based model that characterizes citizens' behavioural patterns with respect to housing and mobility choice that will constitute the first step in the development of a dynamic incentive system for an open interactive governance process. The realistic identification and representation of the criteria that affect this decision-making process will help understand and evaluate the impacts of potential housing incentives that aim to promote urban characteristics such as equality, diversity, walkability, and efficiency. The calibration and validation of the model have been performed in a well-known geographic area for the Group: Kendall Square in Cambridge, MA.

  Recent advances in Robotics and Embodied AI make public urban spaces no longer exclusive to humans. Micromobility enabled by AI for short-distance travel in public urban spaces plays a crucial component in the future transportation system. We present MetaUrban, a compositional simulation platform for the AI-driven urban micromobility research.

  We propose Hierarchical Opponent modeling and Planning (HOP), a novel multi-agent decision-making algorithm. HOP is hierarchically composed of two modules: an opponent modeling module that infers others' goals and learns corresponding goal-conditioned policies. HOP exhibits superior few-shot adaptation capabilities when interacting with various unseen agents, and excels in self-play scenarios.

  We introduce a Consensus-based Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning framework for real-world land use readjustment. This framework serves participatory urban planning, allowing diverse intelligent agents as stakeholder representatives to vote for preferred land use types. By integrating Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning, our framework ensures that participatory urban planning decisions are more dynamic and adaptive to evolving community needs.

  We propose a Multi-Task Hierarchical Graph Representation Learning (MugRep) framework for accurate real estate appraisal. By acquiring and integrating multi-trivial urban data, we first construct a rich feature set to comprehensively profile real estate from multiple perspectives. An evolving real estate transaction graph and a corresponding event graph convolution module are proposed to incorporate asynchronouslytemporal dependencies among real estate transactions.

  The current science of cities can provide a useful foundation for future urban policies. International comparisons of the evolution of cities often produce uncertain results because national territorial frameworks are not always in strict correspondence with the dynamics of urban systems. We propose to provide various compositions of systems of cities to better take into account the dynamic networking of cities that go beyond regional and national territorial boundaries.
