从直觉到算法城市:AI 将如何决定英国的城市建设及其是否有效
数十年来,英国的场所营造既有方法论,也有判断力。实践者们谈论的是 "特色"、"活力 "和难以捉摸的街景 "感觉";这些特质是通过经验、人类使用和专业直觉而非形式化的衡量标准提炼出来的。有成就的实践者往往是见过足够多地方的人,即使在部分因果机制仍然无形的情况下,他们也能认识到什么是有效的。.

AI 正在重塑整个建筑环境的专业实践,测量行业也不例外。英国皇家特许测量师学会(RICS)发布了首个《在测量实践中负责任地使用人工智能》(Responsible Use of Artificial Intelligence in Surveying Practice)专业标准(自 2026 年 3 月 9 日起生效),许多公司面临的问题不再是是否参与 AI,而是如何以一种合规、经过深思熟虑且在专业上站得住脚的方式参与 AI。.
最近,CRE 公司的股价因担心其业务模式受到 AI 存在性破坏而下滑,这表明新的现实正在形成。反思建筑环境的未来,常常让人有一种站在悬崖边的感觉。在我最近与行业领导者的讨论中,我发现话题通常倾向于两个极端:一个是全面自动化高效的技术乌托邦,另一个是顽固谨慎地回归 "人情味"。"
在过去十年的大部分时间里,英国房地产行业都在谈论人工智能,认为它即将到来:迫在眉睫、不可避免,但永远只是在地平线上。会议议程上挤满了 PropTech 小组,创新战略中充斥着 data 和自动化的提法,大多数大公司至少可以指出一些试点、乏善可陈的举措或概念验证。.
作为其在建筑环境 data 和 AI 领域领先地位的证明,Artefact 共同主持了英国皇家特许测量师学会(RICS)AI 标准全球第一版的编写和出版工作。这些标准自 2026 年 3 月 9 日起适用于所有 15 万名特许测量师,据信是首次由任何国家的房地产行业机构发布,并将作为未来负责任地部署 AI 的指导模板。.
Build-to-rent (BTR) buildings represent a fast growing trend in the real estate sector, characterised by properties specifically constructed for long-term rental rather than sale. These developments cater to a growing demographic of renters, including young professionals, families, and downsizing retirees, who prioritise convenience, flexibility, and a professionally managed building.
Advancements in AI technology have revolutionised the way we manage and maintain property “hard” assets. An emerging application is the Intelligent Asset Register, which optimises the management of critical assets such as lifts, electric gates, alarms, and various machinery across extensive property portfolios.
With today’s advances in AI technology, what was complex and tedious can now be done quickly and efficiently. One of these examples can be found in historical lease interrogation. With a custom generative AI solution, a secure sandboxed environment can be created in which all historical real estate leases are uploaded. This will enable any user within the firm to access a chatbot to ask it natural language questions about any aspects of the leases. This in essence becomes a dynamic lease management tool which delivers incredible instantaneous insights at the fingertips of all users.
AI has already dramatically changed how we work, live and interact with others. It will also have a considerable impact on the UK’s property sector. Most of the AI applications in use today are focused on how end customers interact with properties, do searches, visualise floorplans or simply to get more information on a neighbourhood.
