In short, AI will change jobs, leading to more work from home, and digital jobs. AI is a tool not a mechanic. Like all tools it needs human operators. This will in turn effect urban growth corridors and human settlements. Making larger cities (again) more rewarded.

In a counter-reaction to this, citizens will seek out personal, hand-crafted and human experiences. Like craft beer brewery tours, personal bicycle tours or similar. The authenticity of experience and people will be key. Your city will have to be planned differently for more human interactions to balance a ‘machine world’.

Changing your own and others sense of the ‘place’ … and the place itself.
