This project began as an agentic programming experiment to see what was possible at the intersection of AI and urban planning. After brainstorming, I decided to visualize traffic safety in Tempe by mapping car crashes alongside 3D buildings, trees, and simulated shade. Using Deck.gl and MapLibre, I layered these datasets to explore potential correlations between urban form and safety. While I have limited experience with GIS, building this "digital twin" in a single day provided me with a hands-on introduction to how geospatial data is structured and synthesized.
