Abstract: Since their inception,city video games like SimCity have emerged as excellent human-computer interactive platforms for simulating urban development.The core technical pathways and value orientations of these games are believed to align with those of actual urban decision-making,although systematic studies to support this are scarce.The research analyzes simulation results from two representative Simcity games, SimCity and Block'Hood,and compares the optimal solutions of input-output models on spatial efficiency and circular economy equilibrium.The study reveals that within the same algorithmic framework,different objective functions and pertinent factors lead to significant variations in algorithmic structures and outcomes.Furthermore,it elaborates on the inevitable utilization of instrument rationality in the technical pathways and underscores the importance of value rationality in urban decision-making.Finally,the research contemplates on urban planning em powered by the latest artificial intelligence,urban value orientations embodied in human interventions, algorithmic refinements through amendments,and dynamic participation by multiple stakeholders.These elements aim to foster human-machine collaboration and value-led urban decision-making models.
