Authors: Aurel von Richthofen, Pieter Herthogs, Markus Kraft*, and Stephen Cairns

Reference: Journal of Planning Literature 37(3), 415-432, (2022)

Highlights
  • We collect literature at the intersection of City Planning and Semantic Web Technologies (SWT).
  • We structure this body of research along representational, evaluative, projective, and synthetical meta-practices fundamental to City Planning.
  • We find that significant research exists to develop Semantic City Planning Systems (SCPS).
Abstract

Graphical abstract This review focuses on recent research literature on the use of Semantic Web Technologies (SWT) in city planning. The review foregrounds representational, evaluative, projective, and synthetical meta-practices as constituent practices of city planning. We structure our review around these four meta-practices that we consider fundamental to those processes. We find that significant research exists in all four meta-practices. Linking across domains by combining various methods of semantic knowledge generation, processing, and management is necessary to bridge gaps between these meta-practices and will enable future Semantic City Planning Systems.
