Abstract

This report explores the potential of using computational tools to reinterpret the legal text of the city and trace its impact. It discusses the laws, regulations, and decision-making processes to construct cities drifting away from bureaucratic arbitrary existing city governance and decision-making models. To develop such a system for governing and making urban decisions in cities, first, we must understand the nature of cities. Analyzing the city will shed light on the complexity of its components and its nature being a multi-faceted organism. Hence, the first section contains literature reviews of prominent works of major architectural figures to uncover the bureaucratic narrative of architecture. In the second section, multiple approaches to understanding cities are discussed. The third section explores the computational potential of participatory planning. The fourth section explores the concept of text similarity in machine learning and the urban environment. Finally, the last section demonstrates the application of the discussed tools and concepts.
