Urban Digital Twins

City-scale virtual replicas for real-time simulation and scenario planning.

BACK TO HABITAT VIEW INTERACTIVE VERSION

Urban Digital Twins

High-fidelity digital mirrors of entire cities integrating real-time IoT data, traffic flows, and infrastructure status. Urban planners and city managers use these twins to simulate the impact of new developments, optimize emergency response routes, and model climate change resilience strategies before implementation.
