CityDigitalTwin
CityDigitalTwin is a web-based platform for architects, urban planners, and cities to simulate microclimate, outdoor comfort, and energy use. It enables scenario studies of climate adaptation and resiliency interventions — trees, green infrastructure, shading, cool materials, building design, and renewables — to inform pre-design decisions.
Definition
CityDigitalTwin: A Web-Based Platform for Climate-Resilient Urban DesignCityDigitalTwin is an innovative web-based platform that empowers architects, urban planners, municipalities, and sustainability professionals to design climate-resilient and energy-efficient urban spaces. Combining advanced simulation technology with an intuitive interface, CityDigitalTwin enables users to assess the environmental impact of their design choices and develop strategies for adaptation, mitigation, and resilience.At its core, CityDigitalTwin simulates microclimate conditions, outdoor wind and thermal comfort, and building energy performance at the neighborhood or city scale. Users can upload 3D models of urban areas — with inputs compatible from industry-standard design tools like Rhino, Revit, SketchUp, and others — define weather and surface conditions, and analyze the effects of design interventions such as green infrastructure, cool materials, building layout, shading, and renewable energy systems
In Depth
CityDigitalTwin provides urban-scale digital twin platforms for city planning and infrastructure management. AI analyzes the city-level data to support planning decisions, infrastructure optimization, and development impact analysis.
