Abstract

Given terrain information and user preferences such as desired city size, Autopolis generates commercial and industrial centers, and grows areas surrounding these centers. The program also creates streets and highways, and assigns a land-use for each parcel. Compared with previous methods, Autopolis generates cities with better realism, greater detail in layout, and more design variety.
