Abstract
The environment we live in has to be well planned to make our daily life enjoyable. How to efficiently plan urban areas and generate key elements such as streets and land parcels (lots owned by individual owners) thus becomes extremely important. With the fast development of Computer-Aided Design techniques, the practical urban layout design has benefitted from software systems such as Civil3D and SiteOps. Even so, the current design process still largely depends on the designers to manually sketch all the streets, which is very tedious and error-prone. Advanced procedural generation tools such as CityEngine have been proposed for automatic urban modelling, focusing primarily on synthesizing virtual urban environment for applications like virtual reality and computer games. However, the quality of the resultant layout is not good enough for planning purposes. In this talk, I will introduce the recent advances of urban layout design based on our prior work, and discuss how to use geometric optimization to generate high-quality urban layouts under various geometric and functional constraints.
