Conventional environmental simulation approaches in urban design are time-consuming and often incompatible with fast-paced decision-making processes. This VIP aims to address this outdated paradigm by developing surrogate models that accelerate simulations (typically via machine learning) that offer real-time feedback to urban decision-makers, such as architects, urban designers, and policymakers.

Our goal is to seamlessly integrate sustainability considerations into every step of urban decision-making processes by integrating our models with industry-standard CAD tools such as `Rhino` and `Revit` and others.
