Abstract :Biomimicry is a discipline that develops human-made solutions inspired by the design and function of living things in nature. This approach aims to provide innovative and effective solutions in terms of sustainability and efficiency. Artificial intelligence is a field of technology that enables computer systems to have human-like intelligence. These systems can assist humans by performing tasks such as data analysis, learning and problem solving and have great potential in solving complex problems. This paper evaluates the interaction of participatory urban design, biomimicry and artificial intelligence technologies in the field of urban planning and design. Biomimicry explores how nature-inspired designs and processes can be used in urban spaces, while AI technologies utilise analytical and predictive capabilities to improve the efficiency of urban systems. The paper discusses examples of both concepts at the urban scale and discusses the benefits that arise from bringing these stakeholders together. The use of biomimicry principles in urban planning and design contributes to issues such as sustainability, energy efficiency, efficient use of natural resources, energy and resource conservation, adaptation and resilience. Artificial intelligence technologies, on the other hand, increase efficiency while solving complex and difficult problems in urban areas with big data analytics, predictive capabilities and automated decision-making systems. In this article, a participatory process model is proposed to reveal the interaction of biomimicry and artificial intelligence technologies in urban planning and design. Increasing research in this field will contribute to the optimisation of planning processes and the realisation of sustainable development goals.
