Smart City digital twin
A living digital replica of a city that is continuously updated with real-time data and analytics on interactions between humans, infrastructure, and technology that offers a holistic view of the changes that take place in a city. By generating feedback loops of human-infrastructure interactions, SCDTs enable city governments and planners to make hyperlocal data-driven decisions, incorporate community and stakeholder priorities, and evaluate policies and initiatives through "what if" scenario analysis and prediction.
