A way forwards for city digital twins

A way forwards for city digital twins

It’s time that we saw the built environment differently: not as a series of construction projects, but as a system of systems whose explicit purpose is to enable people and nature to flourish together for generations.  This presentation will briefly explore the connection between outcomes, systems and interventions and look forwards to the role of ecosystems of connected digital twins and other cyber-physical infrastructure in improving environmental, social and economic outcomes.
