Urban growth is driving the need for sustainable operational models for city planning. Simultaneously, the proliferation of urban data has introduced a fragmentation into myriad types, formats, and qualities, hindering data integration into urban planning. The project aims to address one of the grand challenges in urban planning today: to connect and catalyse the unprecedented growth of cities and the exponential proliferation of data. The project will develop a Master-planning Knowledge Graph, transforming the conventional instrument of urban planning–the city master-plan–into a knowledge management system that supports cross-domain evaluations of planning proposals by enabling the integration of siloed data, software tools and Application Programming Interfaces from disparate knowledge domains. The overall goal is, using ideas from Smart Nation, Internet of Things, the Semantic Web, machine learning, and statistics, to create a system allowing planners to explore and compare more variations and more iterations for a particular development proposal, leading to improved master plans.
The successful candidate will be expected to assume intellectual leadership in the development of the theoretical and mathematical foundations as well as the wider, ongoing development of our main software tool. This will involve keeping abreast of the latest web technologies, making key design decisions, and ensuring their realisation.
