UrbanEcho
Envisioning tomorrow - A digital twin technology for sustainable urban planning in data poor regions
UrbanEcho aims to provide a digital replica (digital twin) of cities in low-income regions that mirror the city's infrastructure, transport network, housing, and urban facilities as well as the population’s travel behaviour. The result will be a digital platform where various transport and city data are collected, organized, and used to design models that are easily accessible to urban planners and policymakers. The platform would thus facilitate the planning of strategies and innovations to improve transport systems and urban environments.
