• Urban Planning: The process of land use allocation with the goal of guiding urban growth.
• Sustainability: Practices that enhance environmental quality and reduce resource depletion.
• Historic Preservation: Efforts to protect significant buildings, districts, objects, or landscapes from deterioration or destruction.
• Light RAG System: A retrieval-augmented generation system that involves chunking documents, extracting nodes and relationships, and storing them in both a vector store and a knowledge graph.
• Graph RAG System: A variant of RAG that emphasizes the use of graph structures for knowledge representation.
