1. A computer-implemented method for generating design options for an urban design project, the method comprising:
generating a first geometrical mesh for a first candidate design based on a first design criterion associated with a first region of land;
subdividing the first geometrical mesh to generate a first plurality of neighborhoods;
determining that a first neighborhood included in the first plurality of neighborhoods has an area that is greater than a minimum area;
identifying a first subregion within the first neighborhood;
assigning the first subregion to a first dwelling unit included in a first set of dwelling units; and
assigning a first dwelling unit type to the first dwelling unit.
