Simulations and Models in the City Administration of Hamburg – Usage and Requests

Content

This webinar will present the preliminary results of a study conducted in Hamburg in 2022.
The study’s objective was to identify the models and simulations currently utilized by urban stakeholders in their spatial decision-making processes and to ascertain which will be required in a Digital City Twin in the future.

The Key Learnings

Starting Shot: Survey

A survey was conducted to assess the use of digital models and simulations in Hamburg’s city administration.

Ascertain the Current Status and Desired Outcomes.

The objective was to ascertain the current usage of these models in decision-making processes with spatial relevance and to gather input regarding desired models and simulations in urban development.

Feedback Through LEGO© Models

Selected departments and offices of the city administration received boxes containing a small LEGO© model as part of an invitation to participate in a study. The participants were then able to try out and comment on various functions on the Digital Twin.

Dynamics Before Statics?

The results demonstrate that static models, which represent the state of an object at a specific point in time (e.g., traditional 3D City Models), are currently the predominant choice. However, there is a preference for dynamic models that illustrate different states over different points in time (e.g., climate models).
