Modeling urbanization patterns with generative adversarial networks

8 Jan 2018  ·  Adrian Albert, Emanuele Strano, Jasleen Kaur, Marta Gonzalez ·

In this study we propose a new method to simulate hyper-realistic urban patterns using Generative Adversarial Networks trained with a global urban land-use inventory. We generated a synthetic urban "universe" that qualitatively reproduces the complex spatial organization observed in global urban patterns, while being able to quantitatively recover certain key high-level urban spatial metrics.
