“…The image of the city is a key concept in the theory of territorial marketing (Adamus-Matuszyńska et al, 2019). It is a comprehensive mental construct that people form about a specific territory based on objective knowledge and, simultaneously, on emotions associated with that place (Stylidis et al, 2017;Manyiwa et al, 2018).…”

“…Image is one of the key issues in marketing, place marketing, and place branding (Ashworth & Kavaratzis, 2009;Braun, 2012;Braun et al, 2013;Kavaratzis, 2004;Adamus-Matuszyńska et al, 2019). Urban marketing, as a set of coherent promotional activities based on the concentration on the needs of recipients, aims to generate, deliver and exchange an attractive urban offer and bring benefits to various groups associated with the city (Braun, 2008).…”

Purpose: Image is one of the key issues in city marketing and branding. City image studies are essential tools for urban planners, social researchers as well as political decision-makers and local authorities aiming to understand how people perceive the urban space in which they live. The objective of this article is to identify the image of voivodeship cities among their residents based on the respondents’ age categories. Methodology/approach: The article relies on the results of a quantitative study conducted with a sample of 728 respondents residing in selected voivodeship cities in Poland. The research tool employed in the study was a standardised survey questionnaire. Findings: The findings reveal a statistically significant difference in the assessment of the overall city image by residents across various age categories. Practical implications: This article may serve as an inspiration for city managers who, in shaping a positive image of urban centres, can communicate information about selected city attributes tailored to the chosen age category of inhabitants. Originality/value: The research results unequivocally confirm that older city dwellers appear to be more inclined to feel an emotional connection to their place of residence and express positive opinions about it.

“…The media has an irreplaceable role in the communication of city image due to its timeliness and comprehensiveness [20]. City image is an objective social existence and a subjective social evaluation, and the construction of a city image is also the process of the city being perceived and re-evaluated by the public [21,22]. According to the different subjects of city image perception, the city image can be further divided into international city image and domestic city image.…”

With the advent of the Internet era, users from numerous countries can express their opinions on social media platforms represented by Twitter. Unearthing people’s image perceptions of cities from tweets helps relevant organizations understand the image that cities present on mainstream social media and take targeted measures to shape a good international image, which can enhance international tourists’ willingness to travel and strengthen city’s tourism competitiveness. This paper collects nearly 130,000 tweets related to “Beijing” (“Peking”) from 2017–2021 through web-crawler technology, and uses Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF) keywords statistics, Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) topic mining, and Valence Aware Dictionary and sEntiment Reasoner (VADER) sentiment analysis to further summarize the characteristics of Beijing’s international image and propose strategies to communicate its international image. This research aims to tap into the international image of Beijing presented on Twitter, and provide data support for the relevant Chinese and Beijing authorities to develop communication strategies, as well as providing a reference for other cities aiming to manage their international image.

“…In general, building envelope design configurations follow similar urban street configurations outlined by city urban policies including building height, width, color, openings, open to built ratio [1]. Therefore, when designing a new building in an existing neighborhood, usually architects follow neighboring buildings architecture style to outline new buildings design mass.…”

“…In the urban neighborhood, a building design is created as an image and enhanced. Major contributions of this paper can be summarized as follows: (1) We propose the style-based conditional generator to control the latent space, (2) Our proposed generator can generate images that reflect each feature from condition information that specifies multiple classes, (3) In the experiments with a facade dataset, we reveal that the noises in the style-based generator indicate additional elements such as building windows, walls, and outlines information, and unseen types of building facade can be generated by mixing multiple kinds of facades with mixing conditional weights.…”

Artificial Intelligence and especially machine learning have noticed rapid advancement on image processing operations. However, its involvement in the architectural design is still in its initial stages compared to other disciplines. Therefore, this paper addresses the issues of developing an integrated bottom up digital design approach and details a research framework for the incorporation of Deep Convolutional Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) for early stage design exploration and generation of intricate and complex alternative facade designs for urban infill. This paper proposes a novel building facade design by merging two neighboring building’s architecture style, size, scale, openings, as reference to create a new building design in the same neighborhood for urban infill. This newly produced building contains the outline, style and shape of the parent buildings. A 2D urban infill building design is generated as a picture where 1) neighboring buildings are imported as a reference using mobile phone and 2)iFACADE decode their spatial adjacency. It is depicted the iFACADE will be useful for designers in the early design stage to generate new façades depending on existing buildings in a short time that will save time and energy. Besides, building owners can use iFACADE to show their architects their preferred architecture facade by mixing two building styles and generating a new building. Therefore, it is depicted that iFACADE can become a communication platform in the early design stages between architects and owners. Initial results properly define a heuristic function for generating abstract design facade elements and sufficiently illustrate the desired functionality of our developed prototype.
