Barcelona has a digital twin thanks to the Barcelona Supercomputing Center, a virtual city built from all the available data: census, mobility sensors, telephone and credit card data... everything. A digital twin that as an urban design tool allows future situations to be simulated, impacts to be anticipated, and, consequently, decisions to be taken in a more well-informed way. What happens if a main street is cut off? Should there be more buses if it rains? What are the ideal trees for a public square? How does a green axis affect the price of housing? And what about gentrification in a neighborhood? Big events precise management (like Copa America) is also a big issue. Things like that are possible thanks to incredible researchers like Fernando Cucchietti And this is only the beginning to replicate in other cities of the world. https://lnkd.in/dFqjYmJi
