Abstract

A system and method for managing one or more physical spaces includes receiving data relating to location of a plurality of users, determining based on the location, an occupancy rate of the plurality of users for at least one of the one or more physical spaces, identifying based on the occupancy rate and features provided at the one or more physical spaces, one or more user preferred features, providing the occupancy rate and the user preferred features to a trained machine-learning (ML) model for determining optimal uses for the one or more physical spaces in a future time period, receiving as an output from the trained ML model suggested plans for use or management of the one or more physical spaces in the future time period, and providing the suggested plans for display in a user interface (UI) screen.
