How AI is building the future of our cities

Shah Mohamed, who leads the innovation of artificial intelligence at Sweco Design and Engineering Company, offers visions on how artificial intelligence builds future cities.

Ever been stuck in traffic and thought, “Certainly, is there a better way to design this city?” Or walked through a new giant building and wondered whether it would be a monster bothering the energy?

For decades, building our cities and cities was a slow and complex process, and often dependent on educated guessing. But what if we could give the city’s planned great powers? What if they could test different future dozens before hitting one shovel the earth?

This is exactly what started to happen. The secret component is Amnesty International.

Shah explains: “Amnesty International is a revolution in urban design and the planning for infrastructure in Sweco by improving operations, promoting decision -making, and improving sustainability results,” Shah explains. “It allows us to analyze huge amounts of data, simulate the various scenarios, and create more efficient and flexible urban environments.”

Shah says artificial intelligence gives his team the ability to ask big questions that will affect people’s lives when designing future cities: “What is the smartest way to build this neighborhood to reduce traffic jams and pollution? How can we design a building that remains cold in a heat wave without huge electricity bills?” AI can run numbers on thousands of possibilities to find the best front path.

Of course, the real world is messy. It is not an elegant and arranged computer simulation. It is full of unexpected weather, unexpected delay, and the beautiful chaos of human life. This is the number one headache.

“The biggest challenge in applying data -based models to physical environments is the complexity and change of realistic conditions,” says Shah. “Ensuring that models represent these conditions accurately and can adapt to changing conditions that are very important.”

So, how do they deal with that? They start with the basics. They get their house in order. Before they think about artificial intelligence, they make sure that the information you learn from it is rocky and confident.

“To ensure the quality of data and intercourse via projects, we implement strict data governance practices, unify data formats, and use mutual operating software tools,” he says.

This may seem a bit technical, but think about it in this way: they make sure that everyone in the team sings the same hymns. When all different software tools can talk to each other and trust everyone in information, AI can do their work properly. It “allows the exchange of smooth data and cooperation between the various teams and stakeholders.”

But among all the things that Amnesty International can do, this next part may be the most hope when using it to design future cities. It indicates that this technology can have a real heart.

“There are many projects in which artificial intelligence has caused a sustainable impact on sustainability, which makes it difficult to customize one,” he says. “However, if I will choose, the most prominent project will be used as AI was used to maintain biological diversity by identifying endangered species and providing this information to researchers.”

In this scenario, technology gives nature a voice at the planning meeting. It is like artificial intelligence raises his hand and says: “Wait, let’s be careful here, there is a family of rare birds that live in this region.” It allows us to build with respect for the world around us.

So, what is the next chapter? According to Shah, it comes to converting crystal ball into a real time.

“According to me, the biggest opportunity to the artificial intelligence relationship in the AEC sector lies in predictive and automation analyzes,” explains Shah. “By anticipating future trends, identifying potential problems early, automating routine tasks, artificial intelligence can significantly enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and improve the total quality of projects.”

This may mean the safest bridges, the methods that need less repairs, and less disturbance in our lives. This means freeing talented persons from dull tasks to focus on building future cities that are compatible with the people who call them home.

Shah Muhammad speaks in AI and Big Data Expo EUROPE In Amsterdam on September 24-25, 2025, where it will host a presentation on “taking advantage of obstetric intelligence and agent to automate the smart process.” Learn more about the event and how to attend here.
