The rise of IOT has prompted a global push to not only make cities smarter but to go one step further and create a digital twin city – a smart 3D model that accurately represents the city and integrates as much real-time integrated data flow as possible.
This report looks at use cases for digital twin cities by looking at examples of current cities that are already using them to make decisions and engage with governments, businesses, and citizens about mobility, governance, and tourism.
Current use cases and planned use cases are covered as well as the challenges faced when using big data to fulfill the needs of multiple stakeholders.
Additional use cases are proposed, such as the application of digital cities to the management of pandemics, gaming, tourism, business, autonomous vehicles, and accessibility.
