Final Capstone Project

Empowering Urban Revitalization in Cincinnati through AI-Driven Housing Insights.

For my master's capstone project at the University of Cincinnati, I am examining pivotal urban planning trends highlighted in the APA Planning Trends Report 2024.

My project utilizes OpenAI's image recognition technology to assess the housing conditions and potential for property conversions into duplexes or triplexes in Cincinnati. This is particularly relevant given the city's swift transformation and recent zoning relaxations that promote densification along Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) routes and neighbourhood business districts. Instead of developing a new application, I use existing OpenAI data to analyse images of properties to determine their structural suitability and compliance with local codes.

The focus of the project is on the East Price Hill neighbourhood, specifically around Whitter Garden Park. This approach allows me to provide local development advocates with essential data on property conditions, aiding in the strategic enhancement of community infrastructure. By leveraging AI in urban planning, this project contributes valuable insights into housing conditions and densification potentials, serving the needs of Community Development Corporations and housing advocates.

Plan Making Workshop

Report Link

In early 2022, Intel Corporation announced their intention to build one of the largest chip manufacturing facilities of its kind in New Albany, OH. With a project of this magnitude underway, professionals in the region must try to ensure development takes place in a manner that is conscious of people, place, and prosperity. While any community would be excited to welcome the newfound opportunities that come with such massive economic development, it is important to consider the preferences of the surrounding counties that will now have to wrestle with new growth and the obstacles that come with it. This plan for the region envisions a gathering of thriving communities where people are at the forefront, places are vibrant and inclusive, and prosperity is a shared and sustainable reality Guided by three core values of equity, sustainability, and resiliency, this plan is a commitment to building a future that uplifts every person and safeguards the well-being of their community and environment.
