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.

The modular system

Two events, one vision: Shaping the cities of the future with digital twins!

The Urban Digital Twin Days Hamburg 2025 combine two complementary events: the practice-oriented “CUT Innovations” and the international scientific conference “Urban Digital Twins For a Sustainable Transformation of Cities”.

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).
