Generative Urban Design
By Charles Xie ✉ and Xiaotong Ding ✉
An advantage of using GenAI in Aladdin — a CAD platform — is that it can translate users' abstract ideas expressed in natural languages into concrete designs visualized as interactive 3D models instantaneously. For example, the following image shows the result when we asked GenAI to create a city that resembles Manhattan.

If you would like to explore these AI-generated designs yourself, use the following embedded window that displays them in a project gallery. Double-click a thumbnail image in the gallery to load the corresponding 3D model for viewing and interactions.

Note that in order to use GenAI in Aladdin, you must create an Aladdin account and create a project of your own. Then you can use GenAI to add new designs to your projects.
