Project
European City²: Redefining Urban Governance through AI & Computational Modelling
European City² is an EU-funded initiative designed to enhance democratic processes and urban governance through computational social science, agent-based simulations, and AI-driven decision-making tools. The project applies quantum-based social choice theories and multi-agent modelling to predict and improve citizen participation, policy-making, and urban resilience.
By integrating real-world and synthetic data, European City² offers governments and city planners a scientifically informed approach to urban decision-making, addressing challenges related to inclusivity, transparency, and sustainability.
Objectives of European City²
European City² aims to:
- Enhance participatory democracy by integrating citizen engagement models into AI-powered urban governance tools.
- Develop computational models that provide predictive insights into social, political, and economic dynamics at the city level.
- Test and validate agent-based and quantum computational models in real-world urban environments.
- Bridge digital technology and policymaking, ensuring trustworthiness, transparency, and ethical AI governance.
- Offer decision-makers data-driven tools to design more resilient, inclusive, and efficient cities.
Expected Outcomes of European City²
The project will produce AI-powered governance solutions that improve urban planning, participatory decision-making, and public engagement.
By validating these tools in pilot cities, European City² will provide a replicable framework for future European cities, ensuring better citizen inclusion and data-informed policy-making.
