EIRA: The future of urban AI from MIT

This talk presents EIRA, an Urban AI infrastructure platform emerging from research at MIT’s Department of Urban Studies and Planning. It explores how artificial intelligence can function as a foundational layer for cities, enabling better integration of urban data, smarter decision-making, and more adaptive urban systems. The session highlights how research developed at MIT can translate into practical tools that help cities evolve toward a new generation of intelligent, data-driven urban infrastructure.
