SacWorks explores how digital twin technology is transforming urban planning by creating real-time, data-driven simulations of cities and infrastructure. These virtual replicas enable planners, engineers, and policymakers to test ideas, forecast outcomes, and improve city life before making physical changes.
A digital twin combines data from IoT sensors, satellite imagery, traffic cameras, and weather systems to replicate the behavior of a city or building. SacWorks shows how cities like Singapore and Helsinki use digital twins to optimize traffic, energy use, and emergency response.
SacWorks highlights how planners simulate the impact of new developments—like roadways or high-rises—on traffic, noise, and air quality. This leads to smarter zoning, reduced congestion, and better public spaces.
Digital twins also support climate resilience. SacWorks explains how cities use them to model flood risks, heat waves, and infrastructure stress—enabling more proactive adaptation strategies.
Interactivity is another key advantage. SacWorks explores how citizens can engage with digital city models to provide feedback, vote on proposals, and understand how changes will affect their communities.
As urban challenges grow more complex, SacWorks believes digital twins will be essential tools in creating livable, sustainable, and responsive cities—where data and design come together to shape a better future.
