Case Study — AI for Urban Planning & Smart Cities
Delivered for: Elite Academy – Dubai
Elite Academy – Dubai is a professional training institution specializing in advanced skills :
The Academy aims to prepare professionals for Smart City, Digital Transformation, and Sustainable Urban Development visions.
Client’s Needs
Elite Academy requested a training program that would:
Introduce Artificial Intelligence as a practical tool for planning modern cities
Train participants on real applications of AI in the Gulf urban context
Strengthen the technical capacity of engineers and planners
Improve decision-making through data-driven insights
Support Dubai’s Smart City transformation
The Academy insisted on practical scenarios, not theoretical-only content.
I delivered a complete 5-session training program on Artificial Intelligence for Urban Planning and Smart Cities for Elite Academy in Dubai. The program equipped urban planners, engineers, and decision-makers with practical skills in AI-based mobility analysis, environmental modelling, digital twins, GIS integration, and predictive urban systems. Through hands-on workshops using real UAE datasets, participants learned to interpret AI models, design smart-city solutions, and apply data-driven decision-making.
Results: Over 90% of participants significantly improved their understanding of AI in planning, and the group produced several high-quality projects, including traffic prediction models, land-use forecasting, and heat-island mitigation solutions aligned with Dubai’s Smart City strategy.
