Digital Twins for Liveable and Resilient Cities


The battle for space in cities due to urbanization in combination with transitions in mobility and energy cause big and urgent challenges. Local Digital Twins (LDTs) are gaining popularity in cities to help to gain insight and make well informed decisions to overcome these challenges, with a strong focus on sustainable wellbeing. This workshop aims to show the current state of the art in the field of Digital Twinning, the steps that are taken to make Digital Twins interoperable and how AI could be applied to gear towards the next generation of Comprehensive Spatial Planning Support.
