Digital Twins for Cities

Virtual Models for Climate Planning (Solution Type)

Global (widely applicable)

Highlight

Digital replicas of urban systems let cities test climate, mobility and infrastructure scenarios before acting.

Extended description

Urban digital twins combine real-time and historical data with 3D or systems models to create a virtual representation of a city or part of it. Planners can use them to simulate scenarios such as heat, flooding, traffic, energy use or new development before making physical changes. When linked to reliable data and clear decisions, digital twins can improve climate planning, infrastructure management and resilience.
