Urban Digital Twins
for urban development
of the future

“Connected Urban Twins – Urban Data Platforms and Digital Twins for integrated urban development” (CUT) was launched in 2021. During the five-year period of the project, the three partner cities Hamburg, Leipzig and Munich are working together to further develop Digital Twins for cities and municipalities.

The project

What are Urban Digital Twins? We, the CUT project team, view the concept as a modular system whose building blocks can be assembled in new and different combinations for dealing with each individual issue and urban planning challenge. Read more about Urban Digital Twins.

Our vision

As part of In the Connected Urban Twins (CUT) project, we are jointly developing Urban Digital Twins for use in integrated urban development. Urban Digital Twins produce digital representations of our cities that can be used to play out ‘What-if’ scenarios for cities that are sustainable and improve the quality of life.

Our vision

Knowledge transfer

We understand the transfer of knowledge and information regarding Digital Urban Twins as one of our central project tasks. We share our project expertise and solutions on the following pages (German sites).

Solutions and use cases

DIPAS navigator: Digital citizen participation in Hamburg

The DIPAS navigator makes all of Hamburg’s public participation processes that have been and are being carried out with the Digital Participation System (DIPAS) visible on a central website. DIPAS navigator provides key figures and statistics at a city-wide level and at the same time allows users to delve into individual public participation processes for spatial planning procedures.

DIPAS_stories: Telling stories with maps

DIPAS_stories brings together digital citizen participation and storytelling: With DIPAS_stories, specialized maps such as noise maps, digital development plans or 3D city models can be supplemented with texts, images and videos to tell map-based stories.

Specialist portal for the city center – The development of city centers at a glance

The specialist portal for the city center is a digital web application with which specific specialist data relevant to urban development can be displayed, analyzed and used for exchange with various stakeholders.
