The deployment of AI is transforming water networks and; through it, new realities will emerge in our cities.
What are the newest, cutting-edge applications and what possible urban futures do they signal?

Future editions of the AI for Future Cities series will focus on the implications of the technology for mobility, nature and workplaces.
