Abstract:
Cities, as a source of and a solution to modern challenges (such as financial crisis or health related crisis), are complex systems that give urban policies broad spatial significance.
Creating and implementing urban policies engages with many social, economic,
environmental, and spatial concerns, which often conflict. Modern technologies offer new
possibilities for (i) understanding the special characteristics of the urban space, and for (ii)
forming alternative scenarios in forecasts or evaluations. This article uses bibliostatistics
analysis and review of about 1,000 relevant articles of the period 2010 - 2021 to identify
dominant planning methods and relevant technological approaches or models, with
emphasis on knowledge-based systems, and to add new aspects to successful decision
making in urban planning.
