If you are a city planning consultancy dealing with inefficient resource allocation — this project developed a suite of AI-based tools that provide simulations and recommendations to optimize how city assets are used.
AI-Powered Digital Twins for Climate-Neutral and Resilient City Management
Imagine having a living, digital map of a city that updates in real-time. It works like a flight simulator for urban planners, letting them test changes to the city before actually building them. This helps cities cut carbon and react faster to emergencies using smart AI and virtual reality.
What needed solving
Cities struggle to reach climate-neutral goals due to a lack of real-time data and the inability to test urban changes without risking expensive real-world failures.
What was built
A suite of AI-based digital tools centered around a city-wide Local Digital Twin featuring Generative AI and XR technologies.
Who needs this
Who can put this to work
If you are a security firm dealing with vulnerabilities in smart city networks — this project developed advanced cybersecurity measures integrated into a city-wide digital twin to protect urban data.
If you are a utility provider dealing with unpredictable demand in climate-neutral zones — this project developed real-time monitoring and scenario generation to help manage resources more efficiently.
Quick answers
