城市区域画像在城市计算中至关重要,支撑人口估算、经济评估和环境监测等应用。现有方法通常将任务视为多模态表征学习,融合卫星图像、兴趣点、文本描述和三维建筑信息等异构数据生成潜在嵌入进行预测。但这些方法依赖相关性,假设跨模态一致性,且采用静态流程,难以适应异构或未见城市区域。我们提出UrbanAgent,一种代理框架,将城市画像重构为推理驱动的推断问题。该框架为每种数据模态分配独立智能体,通过结构化多智能体协作推理,显式处理跨模态不一致,而非将其融入单一表示。此外,UrbanAgent将指标预测扩展为闭环的主动证据获取与迭代推理过程,使智能体能通过强化学习优化的工具增强检索外部知识来验证不确定推理。在全球城市数据集上的大量实验表明,UrbanAgent在碳排放、GDP和人口估算任务中持续优于现有基线,平均R2提升8.1%,并在未见城市设置下表现出强泛化能力。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Urban region profiling constitutes a core problem in urban computing, supporting applications such as population estimation, economic assessment, and environmental monitoring. Existing methods typically formulate this task as multimodal representation learning, fusing heterogeneous urban data, e.g., satellite imagery, points of interest, textual descriptions, and 3D building information, into latent embeddings for prediction. However, these approaches are largely correlation-driven, assume cross-modal consistency, and rely on static pipelines, which limit their robustness in heterogeneous or unseen urban regions. We propose UrbanAgent, an agentic framework that reframes urban region profiling as a reasoning-driven inference problem. UrbanAgent instantiates an independent agent for each data modality and performs structured multi-agent collaborative reasoning to explicitly address cross-modal inconsistencies rather than absorbing them into a single representation. In addition, UrbanAgent extends indicator prediction as a closed-loop process of active evidence acquisition and iterative reasoning, enabling agents to verify uncertain inferences through tool-augmented retrieval of external knowledge optimized via reinforcement learning. Extensive experiments on global urban datasets for Carbon emissions, GDP, and Population estimation show that UrbanAgent consistently outperforms existing baselines, achieving an average improvement of 8.1% in R2, and exhibiting strong generalization performance in unseen-city settings.
