Abstract

While digital twin techniques have been applied successfully in manufacturing
and construction, cities are so complex that they require more measuring and
modelling eff ort. Moreover, since they are evolving all the time, it is not enough
to simply measure and model cities only once. This article explores whether
digital twin techniques can meet city planning needs and help them face their
wide-ranging challenges – from sustainability to education, digitalization,
infrastructure and healthcare.
