Digital Urban Twin
launched: 2024 | status: Implemented | Applicable for Rural Areas
Solution Summary
Our vision is to use Digital Urban Twins as modular forward-looking platforms. They are used to manage urban resources and infrastructure and ensure the integration and networking of data. We stand for a technology that improves collaborative and interdisciplinary urban development and its transparent communication supports sustainable decisions based on analyses and simulations.
Key Benefits
Problem
Urbanization and digitalization and the associated increasing complexity in the design and management of our cities require new methods for networking stakeholders.
Aim
The virtual representation of the city and region makes it possible to link a wide variety of systems and processes across specialist domains and can make decisions more transparent, efficient and sustainable.
Digital Urban Twins as central visual platforms facilitate communication within the administration and with citizens. By embedding planning projects in the 3D city model, future scenarios can be visualized and environmental effects can be better understood. In addition, the integration of real-time data, for example with regard to traffic or climate, allows the pulse of the city to be measured so that action can be taken promptly and with an overview.
Spatial Level
Approach
Whether as a pure information and participation platform for citizens, as a planning instrument and data interface for urban planning, architecture and administration, as a basis for urban analyses and simulations or as a marketing platform for a region - a Digital Urban Twin makes all these aspects possible in a vivid form.
Virtual City Systems has implemented and is runniing Digital Urban Twins for 70+ municipalities worldwide.
We offer our software solutions for developing Digital Urban Twins as a subscription, for municipalities to maintain and develop independently, as well as SaaS.
Open source and open standards and interfaces are an important part of our company philosophy. For this reason, our product and service portfolio is made up of both open source and proprietary components, which we combine on a case-by-case basis.
Given the case that prospective clients have basic geodata available, the development of a Digital Urban Twin application can be carried out in less than one week.
