Our Projects
At Compact City AI, our portfolio showcases innovative AI-driven geospatial solutions that redefine urban planning and smart city management. From enhancing community participation through mobile platforms to leveraging AI-infused GIS for transit and resilience, our projects employ cutting-edge technologies—from cognitive mapping and GIS‑ANN modeling to platform capitalism–based land governance. Each project is designed to integrate real-time data and machine learning insights, empowering planners, citizens, and governments to make informed, dynamic decisions about land use, transportation infrastructure, and urban ecosystems. Interested in exploring how AI can transform your city? Contact us to collaborate on custom GeoAI solutions tailored to your urban challenges.
Mobile-Based Community Participation in Smart Cities
