Ask the Expert Session – Digital twin for smart cities

Description

Digital twins play a pivotal role in shaping the future of smart cities by providing a virtual mirror of physical urban spaces.

As cities embrace the integration of digital twin, establishing international standards becomes imperative for ensuring seamless interoperability, data security, and sustainable growth. These standards act as a guiding framework, harmonizing diverse systems, and facilitating collaborative efforts among stakeholders such as urban planners, government bodies, and technology providers. By adhering to standardized practices, smart cities can optimize the potential of digital twins, fostering a connected urban ecosystem that thrives on innovation, efficiency, and resilience. The convergence of digital twin and smart city standards represents a critical step towards building intelligent, secure, and sustainable urban environments for the future.

In this Ask the Expert Session, we explored a series of ITU-T standards on digital twin for smart cities developed by ITU-T Study Group 20 on “Internet of things (IoT) and smart cities and communities (SC&C)”.
