About
A network that simulates cities
Smartmind is a virtual network of Town & Country Planning alumni and students. They apply GeoAI to urban simulation and planning.
The core idea
Cities are now systems of systems, so conventional simulation hits its limits. Smartmind aims to simplify and reimagine how future cities are simulated.
Its home
The University of Moratuwa lists Smartmind on the Urban Simulation Lab page of the Department of Town & Country Planning, Faculty of Architecture.
Lab tagline
“Envisaging Cities: Makes Simulation Simplified”
