“…Scenarios – as an interactive medium – can “help practitioners identify new challenges, creatively engage the future, and shape regional agencies” (Sherman and Chakraborty, 2022). They can act as a rhetorical guide for action (Myers and Kitsuse, 2000) provided that a good level of institutional coordination is facilitated (Van Leemput, 2010; Childs, 2020).…”

Purpose Due to the limitations of conventional urban planning, it is essential to develop novel techniques of urban futruing. This paper aimed to use the scenario technique to create four plausible narratives of the future of Isfahan. Also, the authors described the problems of city foresight in the Global South. Design/methodology/approach This paper chronicles the Schwartzian steps taken to build explorative scenarios of Isfahan City in Iran in 2040. After using a STEEPV (Social, Technological, Environmental, Economic, Political, Value) analysis, the authors prioritized the collected variables by combining influence diagrams, the iceberg metaphor and an expert-based survey. Once the key uncertainties were derived, four scenarios were developed and discussed. Findings Through thematic analysis of the official visions of Isfahan’s future and the juxtaposition of these narratives with insight yielded in the scenario-development process, the paper concludes that the Northernness of the prevailing urban imaginaries, uncritical mimetic benchmarking, depoliticization of urban futures and the decorative reductionistic visions colonize urban futures in Isfahan/Iran. Critical/deconstructive city foresight and application of discomfort/ignorance criteria in the generation of scenarios can improve the rigor and quality of city foresight in the Global South. Originality/value The application of city foresight in the Global South has been limited. The paper is a step toward bridging this gap and providing some recommendations on how city foresight in the Global South might differ from its counterparts in the Global North.

“…In addition, BIM and AI technologies are also combined with other auxiliary databases to integrate theories such as statistics and mechanics into analysis [13], which is a comprehensive cloud computing. BIM and AI technology can realize the fitting analysis of influencing factors and the development of the construction industry and fit influencing factors with essential factors [14]. The influencing factors of BIM and AI technology on architectural planning are mainly as follows: 1) Clarify the influencing parameters in architectural planning and change the direction of architectural planning.…”

The continuous development of BIM and AI has made the analysis of building industrialization a hot spot in research and made the issue of industrial reform the focus of computer and construction research. The traditional architectural planning method cannot solve the problem of building industrialization reform under AI technology, and the accuracy of architectural planning is low. Therefore, this paper proposes a model based on BIM and AI technology to analyze the development mode and planning of building reform. First, BIM and AI technology are used to analyze the building data, and the irrelevant construction industrialization data is deleted according to the development mode and planning of the data characteristics. Then, according to the judgment results of construction data, compared with the traditional architectural planning method, the content of different construction industries is deeply excavated, and the influencing factors with higher possibilities are output. After simulation test and analysis, BIM and AI technology can improve the judgment accuracy, integrity, and rationality of the influencing factors of building industrialization planning, with an accuracy rate of 96.4%, and make the correct choice of development mode to meet the judgment needs of influencing factors of architectural planning.
