Imagine having a high-tech digital mirror of a city that updates in real-time. It lets city leaders test changes—like adding new parks or changing bus routes—to see if they actually lower heat or pollution before spending any money. It's like a flight simulator for urban planning to fight climate change.
Urban planning is currently fragmented and lacks real-time data, making it difficult for cities to reach climate neutrality. This leads to inefficient responses to heatwaves, flooding, and air pollution.
A federated ecosystem of AI-enhanced Digital Twins and modular AI services for urban scenario analysis and impact simulation.
If you are a city planning consultancy dealing with fragmented urban data — this project developed AI-enhanced Digital Twins that allow for accurate scenario analysis and impact simulation. This helps you provide data-backed recommendations for climate neutrality.
If you are an energy provider dealing with energy poverty and inefficient grids — this project developed modular AI services integrating real-time energy and socio-demographic data. This enables more precise targeting of energy efficiency upgrades.
If you are a mobility operator dealing with air pollution and traffic congestion — this project developed interoperable digital twins that integrate mobility and land use data. This allows you to optimize Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs) based on real-time intelligence.
Based on available project data, the project focuses on open-source components, but specific pricing for commercial services is not provided.
The project is designed for scalability and replicability across diverse European cities using a federated ecosystem of interoperable twins.
Based on available project data, the project emphasizes open-source components to ensure sustainability and scalability.
It integrates real-time and static urban data across domains like mobility and energy, aligning with Common European Data Spaces.
The project period runs from 2026-05-01 to 2029-04-30.
The consortium is diverse and well-balanced for a tech-to-city deployment, consisting of 26 partners across 7 countries. With 6 industry partners (including 5 SMEs) and 8 research organizations, there is a strong mix of commercial interest and academic rigor, resulting in an industry ratio of 23%.
