How AI is changing spatial planning in Switzerland. Covers three application areas: (1) automated zone analysis combining geodata and aerial imagery to identify unused reserves and densification potential, (2) machine learning for refined population forecasts beyond standard BFS scenarios, (3) AI-powered participation through chatbots and generative scenario visualization. Key message: AI provides evidence and analysis, but planning remains a political decision. SPEKTRUM uses these KI methods in real projects. ### Bauzonenkapazitat mit KI (https://spekt.ch/blog/bauzonenkapazitaet-ki) Published: 20 February 2026. Traditional vs. AI-driven building zone capacity calculation. Classical method uses averages per zone (area x utilization coefficient x residential share / area per person). AI approach analyzes each parcel individually using actual building data, heritage protection status, and structural information. Practical example: Aargau municipality showed 12-year reserve classically but only 9 years with AI (heritage buildings blocking densification). Recommendation: retain classical method as legal standard, use AI as complementary validation. ### Tempo 30 Datenanalyse (https://spekt.ch/blog/tempo-30-datenanalyse) Published: 15 February 2026. Data-driven analysis of speed-30 impacts in Swiss cities. Traffic safety: 20-40% reduction of severe accidents in Zurich after T30 introduction. Noise: 2-4 dB(A) reduction equals subjective halving of noise perception. Traffic flow: minimal impact on low-traffic streets, more pronounced on main routes during peak. Diversion traffic is real risk requiring accompanying measures. Modern methods: before-after counts, microsimulation (VISSIM, Aimsun), GPS-based travel times, AI displacement forecasts. --- ## Live AI Applications Built by SPEKTRUM - **MINU-AI** (https://minu-ai.ch): AI-powered meeting notes tool.
