Digital Twins for Cities
Trendsetting methods for the design of mobility, environment and housing
The digital twin - Digital Twin - of a city is a virtual image of buildings, streets and entire city districts and their environment. A multitude of data from a wide variety of sources complements the virtual twin to form a valuable planning instrument that can provide up-to-date information and forecasts at any time.
A great advantage is the simple and clearly understandable visualization of complex calculation results in the models. In this way, they provide reliable support for citizen participation and decisions on improving mobility flows, meeting climate targets, developing new construction sites or implementing security concepts.
In its unique cross-topic and cross-faculty approach, this continuing education programme combines the fields of digital construction (BIM) and digital city modelling (CityGML) with innovative analysis and simulation methods for designing "smart" urban spaces with quality of life. Practical application scenarios from communities and metropolises provide impulses for the own implementation.
Objectives of the certificate course:
This in-service training program shows how interdisciplinary solutions can be combined to create a virtual city model - the digital twin. The Digital Twin serves as a basis for decisions regarding sustainability, security and quality of life in the built environment.
Here, experts from the fields of architecture, civil engineering, geoinformation and urban planning convey both the theoretical principles and practical implementation. The possibilities of digital networking are evaluated in detail and, in connection with this, the emergence of new business models is evaluated.
The participants will be introduced to digital analysis methods that span different topics and scales and will learn about solution strategies for
urban issues are developed. They are also building an important network for their future activities. The group of participants is limited to a maximum of 20 people and consists of executives and project managers from the fields of urban planning, engineering and architectural offices, municipalities, surveying and geodesy, and business development Smart City.
