I'm sure it could avoid the worst of climate change too. The problems in these areas aren't really that we don't know the correct answers, it's that we don't have the political will to do what needs to be done.
The far right has already branded 15 minute cities as a communist plot, imagine how they would respond to a Chinese-originated ML city design tool.
Moat of the problems from climate change involving cities are people ignoring known risks, like building in flood plains. Yeah, the AI will identify the same things as the city planners and insurance companies identified decades ago and people have been ignoring ever since.
