Bentley Systems & Microsoft: The Digital Twin Series (Part 1): Digital Cities go Mainstream - Setting up City Scale Digital Twins

With rapid urbanisation, governments need to plan for resilient and sustainable cities to improve the quality of life, provide high standards of physical infrastructure and verifiable indicators of optimum utility, health, safety, mobility; an additional focus on wellbeing requires access to recreational facilities, all in order to ensure resilience, citizen satisfaction and economic growth.

Bentley Systems and Microsoft Corp have recently expanded a strategic alliance, combining Microsoft’s Azure IoT Digital Twins and Azure Maps with Bentley Systems’ iTwins platform, focussed on advancing infrastructure for smart city urban planning and smart construction.

In this 1-hour webinar, the presenters will highlight:

• How the City Digital Twin will envisage and address key challenges that the city faces, through a single platform where a myriad of different sources of information such as engineering, CAD, GIS, and non-spatial or semantic data can be brought into a single view to enable quick appraisal
  

• The applications and case studies of the system reacting to ad-hoc events such as festivals, games, etc., and even unplanned disasters or pandemics
  

• Ways in which some cities have adopted digital twins on an Azure secured cloud platforms for better management and stakeholder engagement
