    • The process of developing and designing open space, urban areas, and the built environment is known as urban planning.
    • Urban planners may employ technology to improve their processes and create better places for people to live and work. Using cloud technologies, urban planners can create a database to obtain information on specific metropolitan areas.
    • Cloud computing technologies can also be used to help plan larger infrastructure projects.
    • Technologies used in urban design: Urban planners can use technology to improve their urban planning process and create a better city region in which to live and work.
    • 1. Cloud Technology: Using cloud technology, urban planners can construct a database in order to receive information about specific metropolitan regions. Furthermore, cloud technology can aid in the design of major infrastructure projects.
    • 2. Internet: Urban planners can use the internet to develop cities that are accessible to remote workers. As a result, urban designs with reduced traffic congestion and better transport options are created.
    • 3. The Internet of Things: Many basic IoT tools are already in use. Smart streetlights, for example, turn off automatically to save energy. Urban planners can expand on these methods to create concepts that improve urban infrastructure.
    • 4. Planning apps: Urban planners may create inclusive and lively areas for inhabitants and companies by leveraging current technology and open data. Planning tools like the "National Equity Atlas" and "Metro Pulse" aid in the urban design process and help to develop areas that city residents require.
    • 5. Virtual Reality: Virtual reality can also be used to simulate situations for modelling 3D urban landscapes. Urban planners can see various urban areas using modern visualisation tools. Potential environmental repercussions can thus be predicted. This results in more accurate judgements and conclusions.
    • Urban planners may use the internet to design cities that are accessible to remote employees. As a result, urban plans now include improved transport options and less traffic congestion.
    • Several key IoT tools are already in use. Intelligent streetlights that turn off automatically to save energy are among them.
    • Urban planners may use technology to develop self-management strategies in order to create smarter cities that place a greater emphasis on growing communities and neighbourhoods.
    • If employed correctly, urban planners can handle and resolve today's urban problems. Technology will also allow urban planners to focus more on community development, resulting in greater municipal self-sufficiency.
