As cities tackle complex challenges like climate change, sustainable development and improving citizen wellbeing, these virtual replicas are emerging as a powerful tool.

LDTs act as sophisticated simulation engines, mirroring the heartbeat of urban spaces to enable data-driven decision-making. They empower urban planners to test scenarios and policies virtually before implementation. By integrating diverse data streams from sources like IoT sensors and open data platforms, LDTs offer a holistic view of city dynamics.

Driving Sustainability and Innovation

From Helsinki projects that monitor building energy use to cut emissions, to Rotterdam optimising road traffic and port operations, cities are leveraging LDTs to drive sustainability and efficiency. Tools like DUET combine mobility and environmental data to simul
