Urban Planning Digital Twin
Urban visualization turned into a game-style navigation experience. The project utilized various modeling and optimization tools before being deployed in Unreal Engine as an interactive walk/fly-through, for Digitaltwinning purposes.
The Challenges
- •Cities and regions face growing pressure from climate change, rapid urbanization, and resource management.
- •Traditional maps and reports lack the ability to fully capture dynamic environmental processes like air quality, flooding, or traffic emissions.
- •Decision-making often happens in silos, with fragmented data spread across agencies and stakeholders.
- •Engaging citizens and policymakers is difficult when complex data isn’t visualized clearly.
Our Solutions
- •We build Urban & Environment Digital Twins that connect geospatial data, 3D city models, and live environmental inputs into one interactive platform.
- •City-scale 3D twins that integrate buildings, infrastructure, and natural landscapes.
- •Environmental simulations (air quality, noise, flooding, energy use, mobility).
- •Scenario testing for climate adaptation, zoning, and sustainable growth strategies.
- •Citizen-facing dashboards that make data transparent, interactive, and easy to understand.
Project Description
This innovative urban planning project transformed traditional city visualization into an immersive, game-style navigation experience. Working with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, we created a comprehensive digital twin of urban infrastructure that allows stakeholders to explore and analyze transportation networks through an interactive 3D environment built in Unreal Engine.
Project Overview
Our approach covers:
Urban planning twins → Modeling districts, neighborhoods, and transport systems.
Environmental twins → Simulating ecosystems, water flows, and renewable energy potential.
Regional scale integration → Linking cities with surrounding landscapes for holistic impact analysis.
Public participation tools → Interactive 3D maps and VR demos for better community engagement.
Resolution & Impact
Urban & Environment Twins enable cities and organizations to:
Plan sustainably → Reduce emissions, optimize mobility, and protect green areas.
Mitigate risks → Anticipate flooding, heatwaves, or pollution hotspots before they happen.
Collaborate better → Unite planners, engineers, and citizens around a shared digital environment.
Build trust → Transparent and visual communication strengthens public acceptance of projects.
