Abstract	This study examines the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in designing urban furniture, with a particular focus on public parks and their surrounding areas. The study addresses the demand for welcoming and sustainable urban environments that promote psychological well-being, accessibility, and community engagement. The study aimed to examine how AI-assisted design may help create public furniture that is user-centered and environmentally friendly. A mixed-methods approach was used to identify the design priorities and assess the feasibility of AI applications to design sustainable urban furniture. This included a literature review, authors proposed designs with the help of AI, and a public opinion poll. Artificial intelligence techniques were used to develop innovative furniture concepts, while the authors guided the process to meet functional and aesthetic needs. The findings show that AI could significantly enhance the creativity and efficiency of the design possibilities when driven by human input, resulting in adaptive and visually appealing solutions. Respondents highlighted that including green energy, accessible features, and community-specific considerations within the design will encourage users to be more engaged with public parks and will enhance community well-being. However, the study identified shortcomings in current AI technologies, particularly in terms of functional evaluation and lifecycle concerns, as they require more human intervention.
