What is MetaCityGenerator?

MetaCityGenerator is a powerful tool for urban design and planning that automates the creation of spatial models, evaluates designs based on sustainability and multidisciplinary features, and enhances urban projects through a feedback loop. It streamlines the urban planning process, facilitating the generation, assessment, and refinement of urban designs to meet regulatory and sustainability goals efficiently.

Our philosophy

MetaCityGenerator is a non-profit collaborative project. It is an ongoing work that is being shaped by a multitude of authors from diverse backgrounds, with different career trajectories and varying degrees of involvement. On one hand, we believe that the combination of personal contributions is what makes this toolkit so powerful. On the other hand, we must address the ‘growing pains’ associated with large-scale collaboration. Here, we humbly request your patience and understanding.

We actively seek your feedback, tips, and bug reports, and are dedicated to making continuous improvements.
