Research project: 
Data-Driven Urban Evaluation of Australian cities through the lens of Micromobility

Project description: 
My research explores how generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) and crowd-sourced feedback can improve urban design in preparation for the 2032 Brisbane Olympics, focusing on micromobility and the transport network connecting event venues. By analysing AI-augmented Street View Images (SVI), the study highlights the importance of street design and human connection in enhancing the usability and appeal of urban spaces.
